Is this Transfer Financial Aid package good?

@mysticmama oh wow- didn’t realize that award package didn’t include the full cost. Yeah, go with your plan of talking to them about your decreased income level.

@liveyourlife26 I was able to get more aid, but it was a terrible situation that I don’t recommend. Basically I left for school expecting my parents’ private loan to go through but found-out late September that they were denied based on their debt-to-income ratio.I appealed to the school telling them I could no longer afford the school and needed more help. They said there was nothing they could do, so I stopped going to classes and looked for a job to stay in D.C. The financial aid office called me about a week later asking to see me, and the “found” me two more loans that covered the extra $15K. Granted, these were rare loans that aren’t applicable to everyone (first was for veterans, and the second was for students that have been out of academia for a few years). So yeah, that was my close call. I was given more money, but skipping classes (and one exam) for a week made that first semester even more difficult.
