<p>“The key is that you don’t get to arbitrarily define “sufficient” financial aid.”</p>
<p>I’m sure I seem argumentative, but the Common App ED agreement instructions contradict the above. No one but the family has the ability to know if a financial aid offer is sufficient. Schools already have all the pertinent information they needed to make their determination, but the information doesn’t capture every family’s circumstances. That’s why the Common App release exists.</p>
<p>Please believe the Common App ED agreement instructions. Even schools that don’t use the Common App won’t bankrupt a family if their offer is insufficient.</p>
