. I would start there and follow up with the office after an aid package is received.

For a special circumstances consideration, it’s important to know the process as soon as possible. Schools have varying procedures for this. And some don’t do special circumstances considerations at all.

If it were me, I would be reaching out to the colleges to at least find out if this situation is one they would consider and then process (which would include the timing)

The reason I suggested the order I did is that it allows for more room to negotiate by contacting the FA office afterwards via an appeals process when you have acceptance in hand. You should be able to find out about FA offices considerations via the web.

We did this, and it was effective for us resulting in an additional 6-10k of aid at DC’s final two choices.
