Last year, the financial aid office told us that unless there is a change in financial circumstances from when you filed the FAFSA/CSS (such as loss of job, major illness, etc.) then they will not reconsider your FA package. You will need to submit documentation.

That being said, I know that at some other colleges, you can call/write to the admissions office and show them merit aid offers from your other accepted colleges and they may try to match them. I think this only works if you have VERY high stats, or you are an athlete, or performer, etc. But remember, admissions office determines merit aid, financial aid office determines need based aid.
