Financial Aid at UW has been incredible to me during my time here. They’ve made adjustments, I’ve explained circumstances that don’t necessarily get explained in the simple numbers of FAFSA. Generally, you have to also remember that you’ll get SO many scholarships during your junior and senior years if you do well at UW, as an in-state student, that it would actually be much more worth the cost than Emory.

But yes, Barrons is right. Attitude gets you nowher and being as polite, pleasant, and empathetic to THEM is the best bet–however irritating that my seem. Also, being confirmed as a student, I’ve heard, helps. It’s much different if you’re the “speculative freshman” who’s “shopping” all the schools’ financial aid offers. UW has people dying to come here that would happily take your place,to be perfectly frank.
