It’s probably the $875,000 home that is killing you most likely. The median home price in the greater Atlanta area is $100,000. it’s probably very difficult for an underpaid and overworked finaid officer to look at that and NOT look for deductions and all that stuff. I think it’s always best to have a reasonable number in your head that you ARE willing to pay. Best of luck with the appeal. Maybe if you are in San Francisco or somewhere that the median home price is multiple hundreds of thousands that might be help…to show that you are not living above your means and genuinely need financial help. I think San Fran is the highest market in the country with median home prices in the $600,000 range.
