When writing an appeal, good idea to mention another school?

<p>Hi I received UVa and W&M’s financial aid letter. UVa gave me much more loan than I should have than W&M which almost gave me full ride. I’m going to write a letter to ask for reconsideration for financial aid to UVa, since UVa is my top choice. Is it a good idea to mention W&M and its financial aid in the letter?</p>

<p>also it would be nice if anyone can give me some writing tips! </p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>I am thinking of writing an appeal as well. Also, in a way similiarly to the OP’s situation, I know a person who’s income was slighly lower than mine yet they got double the grants and scholarships. Double. That is a huge difference. Should I mention that too. Sounds bad, I know but I am just trying to go to college. U.Va. as well by the way. IhateCR feel free to pm me if you find out anythign spicific to Uva… I will do the same if I get more info from somewhere.</p>
