<p>Some schools will discuss their financial aid awards and make “adjustments” based on other awards and some simply will NOT. This is up to each school. DD took her financial aid packages to two schools (that often have the same applicants, are in a similar geographic area, and are considered peer schools). One school added some to her award. The second school REFUSED to even talk to her. They were clear…whatever they offered you was IT…they did not discuss their financial aid awards and they did not adjust them. They had a “take it or leave it” attitude…Just FYI…we LEFT it.</p>
