Has anyone successfully appealed their financial aid offer? If so, was it a significant change? I’m asking because I’m planning on transferring to Cornell in the fall but just received my financial aid. They expect my parents to pay $20,000 a year (after my $14,000 a year outside scholarship and NYS tuition). Vanderbilt, on the other hand, gave me a completely free ride (all grants, no scholarships) so I really don’t understand where Cornell is getting their numbers…should I use Vanderbilt’s financial aid offer in my appeal?
