Could everyone who tried appealing and renegotiating their financial aid award please post what you tried to do/say/tell SFAS, what additional circumstances you told about, how you went about it (met with them physically/called/emailed), and whether/how much you succeeded. Do you have to cite additional circumstances to succeed in appeal, or could showing competing Ivy League aid offers with lower Parental Contributions produce results? What do you think? What have you experience.

Thanks in advance for responding.
