@2KansasKids was that after he was already offered more on appeal? D heads out to visit school A tomorrow and hopefully after her 3 days visiting she will be able to choose. It is still more from a COA perspective than school B which is also an exceptional school so if A becomes the choice I am hoping to still squeeze a bit more out of them. I don’t know if anyone has ever gotten more after a successful appeal but cost of living and not having housing guaranteed after the first year in NYC is a real concern. Along with the meal plan that I have to think is entirely inadequate given the price tag of it. Hubby and I plan to meet with the admissions counselor there next week if D makes her choice with school A over school B.
