Is this Transfer Financial Aid package good?

@mysticmama A few things to keep in mind: loans are loans – they are not aid. You are going to need to pay those back, which can be a genuine hardship for many post-graduates. Also keep in mind cost of living in Wash. D.C. is high. My son’s friends at GW this year went way over the University-assumed food budget. So, you may want to recalculate living expenses based on actual costs. Of course, if you will have housing with a kitchen and can cook your own food, that will help. Even so, grocery bills will be higher than many other areas of the country.

I believe you can appeal your FA offer at GW. However, very few individuals prevail on their appeal.
