Yes ! Financial aid is definitely something to ask for reconsideration. We have a family friend who received a minimal award last year, asked for more, and received a substantial increase (over $15K more!). It’s important to do this asap as applicants who have been offered aid may have decided not to attend GW, thus freeing up $$$ for other candidates. It’s important to schedule an appointment with the financial aid counselors asap to discuss. If possible, ask to meet with the director to ask for an adjusted amount. If not possible to do in person, call and/or have parents call as well. Good luck to all ! It’s definitely worth asking for more $$$ !!
