Son was accepted - Echols, NMF and OOS student - UVA is his clear #1 and really wants to go - unfortunately for us, the financial aid package we got isn’t going to allow it. We have the form to request a financial aid review but it is very specific as to what they will consider as a situation that can be appealed. We have a room reserved for this weekend for DOTL but are torn as to whether we should go or not. On one hand it will be an opportunity to speak to folks face to face and to show our interest to the school - on the other if there is little to no chance of getting more aid then it will be a double whammy - we’ll be spending $ for the visit and it will be salt in the wounds for S who knew from his first visit that it was where he would like to go. Thoughts?
