which one of these schools qualifies as a "peer instiution" for FA at CMU?

<p>The list of peer schools they’ve matched aid from includes schools not on the official list. </p>

<p>They would likely bump up FA after seeing an award from RPI. It’s worth a shot, go ahead and ask. </p>

<p>U Pitt aid is less likely. U Pitt is a much easier school to get into, and is less rigorous academically by a long shot. Of course, it’s always worthwhile to mention your offer from them, but don’t count on your aid being increased because of your U Pitt offer.</p>
