<p>Anyone else doing this?
The woman I spoke with today in the FA dept. said they would base their decision on the FAFSA and the only possibility for increased aid would be through loans only. She did not ask for any details about our situation. We cannot afford any more loans, and this seemed a bit black and white to me. Do they ever reconsider a student’s merit award? I’d like to think they actually look at requests on a case-by-case basis.</p>
