You’re talking about thousands of dollars. I wouldn’t have a teenager call, I’d do it. Colleges might prefer to conduct all business with 17-year-olds, but that’s not how we handle our finances. All large expenditures go through us.

I don’t think there’s any harm in asking the financial aid office to review the package for errors without making a commitment to attend. Just make sure your daughter doesn’t get too emotionally attached to a school until you have all the packages.
