<p>You can certainly try appealing in person for more merit aid, but I don’t think the merit offer from Syracuse is gong to help much.</p>
<p>Syracuse is not a school that typically competes with Brandeis for students because they are so very, very different.</p>
<p>That also raises the question that considering they are so different, would you son be happy at either of these schools or is one of them really a better fit for him?</p>
