<p>brucesprings - i’m guessing that Indiana’s aid as well as Ohio State’s were mostly merit-based, and Wisconsin’s were need based. If that is true, then you can’t really send an appeal to Wisconsin. Also, the schools aren’t too similar academically, Wisconsin has lower acceptance rates, higher test scores, higher rankings. They aren’t peer institutions. I mean, you can try, but you aren’t comparing apples to apples. It would be better to appeal Indiana’s decision to OSU, or vise-versa.</p>
