<p>Please just call them. I understand it would be optimal to have the numbers in front of you before entering a discussion but I think it would be a good idea to get the “options ball” rolling before too long. This way, you’re sort of getting on their radar screen before classes start, etc. </p>
<p>I am a rising third year transfer & have only dealt w/ FinAid on a limited basis, but have always found them to be reasonable & accomodating.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
