Hi guys, I got in the honors program EA with merit aid. However, according to their FA letter, I did not receive ANY need based aid except for 8k/yr in loans but my need based aid (not including loans or merit) as according to their calculator is around 36k (Our family makes around 70k with no investments, interests, and average assets and one average priced house that we live in). I called their FA office and all they said was that Northeastern is an expensive school (sure…everyone knows). Evidently, something is wrong. I checked the FAFSA and CSS profile and filled the FA calculator according to the info provided on there, and it came out to be 36k again. What should I do? Would an appeal still be possible?
