I know Chicago says you can challenge the decision, but is it really possilbe? Would it even change anything? So far, I’ve gotten into Chicago and NYU (waiting on Hopkins, Princeton, Yale, Berkeley), and both of those schools are outrageously expensive. Granted, I haven’t recieved my FA report from NYU yet, but I’m still fairly certain that it’ll be just as expensive unless I earned some huge merit aid (which I doubt). Is it worth it to talk to the school about financing? My parents are willing to take out the loans, considering I’d have to pay them in the end, but we’re not even sure if we can get approved for that much. I would be soooo upset if I couldn’t attend any of my non-safety schools because of finances. :(
