Hi all! I was accepted to American University as a WMP student for the fall and then a musical theatre major for the spring. It’s my dream school and I want to commit but money is an issue. They offered me a small loan ($5500) but nothing in merit (granted my stats are a little below the usual, I think I got in based on my major…).

I received very large scholarships from my other schools (around 20K). I’m wondering if it is worth it to call American and explain to them that they are my top school, but with no aid it is going to very tough to attend. Are they the kind of school who will help me out if I ask?

Even a bit more in loan would be a help.

Thanks so much!
