Here’s what I wrote - and I think it was very, very clear:

“If the OP wanted to compare packages, s/he shouldn’t have applied ED. It is dishonest…”

If you DON’T want to compare packages, you are not dishonest. ED is specifically for those who have committed in writing not to do so. You and your parents also committed to the institution if AU made it affordable. According to the statement in your first post, AU made it affordable - you said you would be going whether AU gave you more money or not.

So you can try to wangle some more money out of them, and AU is totally within in its rights to tell you no. After all, you already told the world you are going in any case.
