<p>Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how and if colleges (and I know it would vary) ever consider financial aid packages your child might of gotten from another school. I would think they wouldn’t care, but I was talking to a student that had a different experience. She really wanted to go to a school in MA and got into school in NJ (Drew, I think) She liked both, both preferred the first. Drew gave her a lot of money from different funds and would be much easier on the wallet. When she emailed the other school about their more generous contribution, she got a scholarship she wasn’t considered for earlier. Is this a rare thing or should you at least try if it happens?
Thanks for passing on any experience you have.

<p>I don’t know that any will have a policy towards this, but I think most everything is negotiable somewhat. Show one school what another offered and if they want you bad enough they’ll match it</p>
