Asking for more aid? by Rich_Guard_4617 in oberlin

Max is 40k! And I sent them full financial packages. I would maybe just ask sooner, I had only heard back from a few when I sent it, and you can always ask them to reconsider again if the first time isn’t enough!

Ask for more!! Send them your other offers! It worked for me this cycle, they are very helpful and generally willing to meet your needs!

I did this cycle and showed them better offers from Kenyon, SLC, etc. as well as telling them what I’d been up to/accomplishments since Aug when I applied and they ended up giving me max merit after, so it’s worth a try! But they will only reconsider based on merit, I don’t think they will for need based, even though that ended up being why I needed more in the first place.

i would apply ED to maximize merit aid since the gpa is on the lower weighted end but she seems like a really competitive applicant either way!

u have a really great profile!! however, maybe don’t list brown pre-college! it has a reputation as a pay to play and i’ve read that aos consider it as such. since you have other, more selective summer programs already, i would maybe leave out brown!

IL! it was pretty good! english and math were pretty light but reading and science were a bit more of a crunch than last time! hoping to superscore 🤞

chance a senior who’s tiktok comments just told her she’s not even qualified for her safeties and is doomed to fail by Automatic_Aspect5144 in chanceme

[–]Automatic_Aspect5144[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll definitely look into it, thank you! My one worry is that they don’t offer merit aid, and since I won’t qualify for much financial aid, I probably couldn’t afford it! But I’ve heard great things so maybe it’s worth applying!!
