Did you share other schools packages when appealing?

He’s maxed out the merit, so it’s a question of how much they think we can afford out-of-pocket. They think we can afford more than we think we can.

This is part of my hesitation. They have a question about how much it would take to make it feasible to attend, but they also ask for comparables. I think at the current price he 100% wouldn’t attend given his other good options, but if the schools were more closely priced I am not sure which he would choose. These are not huge schools, so I think they would like him to come; I think the cheaper and more expensive schools would both be good fits but they do have a number of differences.

It just seems slimy…
