| NYU is still marketing Sallie Mae loans? I thought they stopped after the attorney general investigated collaborations between the loan companies and universities. |

| They found an extra 2 grand for me but unfortunately, that is still too little. I need more money or else I can't pick which college to go to. | |

| I'd assume it's writing to explain your financial situation. You could probably use your Boston U FA as leverage. | |

| Haha, probably not.
Might think about appealing myself, but then again, it looks like I'm in a better situation than you are :P | |

| I can't believe this, though. =/ I mean, my parents are going from 76k to 54k and I even wrote them an e-mail! I think they just gave me more laons, though. -_- | |

| You guys don't think threatening them of becoming a famous alumni at a different college will change their minds, do you? | |

| Holy crap, that's pretty big. What was your FA at before, if you don't mind asking?
What did you say? o.0 (Or how did you appeal, anyway) | |
