Wellesley vs Barnard? Full ride vs 30k+ tuition?

Thanks everyone for all the information!

I just got my Barnard acceptance and financial aid letter; it would cost 45k per year for me to attend Barnard. That’s about $15,000 higher than my FAFSA EFC! A friend suggested I write an email to their financial aid department, but I’m not sure what to say or how to phrase it.

I don’t have a huge emotional attachment to Barnard so I’m not very disappointed, but it has definitely moved down the list in both my parents’ and my opinion.
