OP, Does the school meet full need, or not?

If not, you can ask for more $, but are unlikely to get any at this late date. How much is the gap? Can the student fill the gap by working this summer, and during the school year?

The school used CSS Profile to calculate need, not FAFSA.

No, the school does not meet full need but leaves a gap after subtraction EFC from COA. Most of schools’ financial package arrived after the regular decision. How could asking for more or appeal be late?
