<p>akman159 - Please don’t single out my thread…in no way do I feel entitled to more financial aid than I received. I was wondering if there was a way to appeal because if I went to USC, I would be turning down two full-ride offers. How are you supposed to convince your parents that taking out a $30k loan would be a better option for undergraduate school? Alamemom and josebi suggested many options to help cover the costs that I was not previously aware of, but I am NOT ungrateful for what the school offered me…just that it wasn’t enough to be practical money-wise. I am still astounded I was offered so much I could even consider USC as an option.</p>
