| Financial aid can overlook things on occasion. If you feel that your fin. aid package was not sufficient call them ASAP and fax a letter to them. Sometimes there are items that you neglected to mention on your CSS/PROFILE and FAFSA. If you have document to back up your concerns, copy that and send that as well. It does not hurt to ask. The worse they can say is no. Going in and saying we need more aid doesn't cut it in my book. Backing it up with some serious documentation (letters from medical professionals, etc...) can make a difference. Discuss the matter with the parents. Also look at how much debt you are willing to incur over four years. Don't let emotion drive your decision. You need to sit down with pencil and paper and think it through. Good luck! |
