menloparkmom: I posted on the FA forum, so we’ll see what they say. Thanks for your help.

compaq10: Could you be more specific? I’m really interested in learning more about qualifying for residency if it’s a possibility at Berkeley. My aunt, uncle, and cousins all live there, and they supposedly live close enough to the school to commute.

Divine Comedy: We have contaced the FA office at both schools. Berkeley was no help, and Chicago told us to file an appeal. My parents still haven’t done so, but I’m pushing them to work with me on an appeal before we meet with a financial aid advisor at the admitted students weekend. I really do hope that they will be accomodating as well, seeing as it’s my top choice school.
