How does appeal work?

Paying for College
1

<p>Currently my college is only giving me $4000 in financial aid because I just got off the waitlist. I would have to take out $16,000 in loans. Could you appeal if you got off the waitlist?</p>

<p>And is it worth dorming first-year if it means taking out an extra $10,000 in loans?</p>

<p>May be you should stop ■■■■■■■■ on other threads or making some stupid comments to get your question answered. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person who doesn’t like you here.</p>

<p>often students from wait lists and transfered students don’t get the pick of financial aid offers. Does this school state they meet 100% of need?
Have you asked if your package would change next year?
If you have recieved a more attractive offer from another school- you may be able to get them to increase theirs but it probably comes down to what attending this school is worth to you.
and now I don’t think that taking out $16,000 for one year of school is agood financial move.</p>

<p>the school did Not state they meet 100% of the finacial aid. They only gave me $4000 in financial aid award. I have to take out $16,000 in loans just for the first year. Should I call the financial aid office again?</p>

<p>Is there any way to appeal if you just got off the waitlist? </p>

<p>And is it worth taking Another $10,000 out in loans for room&board?</p>

<p>Call the finaid office and ask them. They will either say yes or no regarding appealing finaid awards.</p>
