@sybbie719 I didn’t think about contacting my regional rep. Thanks for the tip.

@Sybylla I’m pretty much on my own in this process, so there’s a lot I don’t know about FA. I’m really just trying to talk my way into any more money that they’ll give me, seeing as I have nothing to lose.

@blossom I did get need based aid, but very little. The annual cost of attendance is 70K. They gave me 24 in merit and another 15 in need-based. I suspect this is because my mom’s husband makes a LOT of money, but he’s got 3 daughters of his own and is not going to pay anything toward my tuition. I live with my father, but all of my schools wanted mom’s info anyway. I guess the gap I am dealing with is about 15K, yeah. It’s a complete potshot but I would never forgive myself if I didn’t try.
