<p>Have you tried to appeal yet? We wrote an appeal letter telling them my mom’s (the only one working) salary got cut by 15% this year and attached her paycheck copies and such. They increased my grant by $2000. Which isn’t a lot, true, and we would still have to come up with $8000 from pocket, but it’s manageable and saves me $8000 in my undergraduate education payment. </p>

<p>I suggest you write an appeal letter and

  1. Say how grateful you are for the amazing financial aid they have offered you, but,
  2. It’s not enough.
  3. WHY it’s not enough. (Mortgage, medical bills, salary cuts, etc.?)
  4. Emory is your first choice, but
  5. You’re not able to attend due to financial issues.
  6. Instead, if your need is not met, you would have to attend Auburn U,
  7. Where they gave you $_________.
  8. You hope they can have another review of your financial circumstances, and that you will be able to attend your dream school in the fall.</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>
