<p>How should I go about requesting more aid than has been offered?</p>
<p>I need to squeeze out $5-8000 more annually from Tufts to be able to comfortably pay the bill. I’m being offered that much more from another (arguably “better” [Ivy]) school–should I mention that and ask Tufts to match the offer?</p>
<p>How successful are monetary requests of this magnitude, usually?</p>
