I’ve been following this conversation for a few days. UDel was my son’s 1st/2nd choice, and he was waitlisted. Obviously not what he was hoping for, and it amazes me to see folks complaining that they think their kid got too little money to attend. We would be grateful for the acceptance, period.

If you really are all that unhappy with your amount of merit money, then move on to something better. I don’t understand what all the back and forth is all about. Do you want people to say, “Yeah, your child was robbed!” and commiserate, or are you hoping for helpful advice on how to maybe get the school to up the amount?

I’m not trying to start something, my comment isn’t deserving of a reply, it’s just me airing my confusion as to the purpose of the post.
