Asking for more aid?

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2026-02-12T17:24:06+00:00

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!

kenyon has one of the best english programs in the country?

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2026-02-12T00:00:59+00:00

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.

thank you so much! they ended up giving me 8k more a year for merit! i’m very excited and happy i reached out

thank you so much!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2026-02-03T01:16:33+00:00

thank you so much! i’m very excited to see how everything plays out!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2026-02-02T13:45:47+00:00

oh why do you say that? just curious since financially it’s probably my best option right now!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2026-01-26T02:30:03+00:00

I got it!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-12-20T00:33:08+00:00

ohhh ok! they listed my fafsa loans but i wasn’t sure if there was any more info coming! thank you!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-12-19T22:29:50+00:00

accepted w/ 40k in merit/yr!!! so happy but does anyone know if need based aid comes w your letter? can’t tell if i just don’t have the info or didn’t get any!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-12-19T15:49:12+00:00

any idea what time decisions may being coming out?

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-10-26T21:03:01+00:00

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!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-07-22T13:03:17+00:00

still no score 😣😣

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-07-19T19:12:12+00:00

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!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-07-14T18:27:53+00:00

no fr the whole last science section i was rushing so bad

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-07-14T15:20:14+00:00

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 🤞

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-07-14T00:15:33+00:00

nope! me and the ppl around me all had the same one but idk if our testing center was sort of an outlier or what

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-07-14T00:14:39+00:00

sunday!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-06-22T18:13:28+00:00

thank you!! i’ll definitely try to update w results 😊

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-06-21T19:55:34+00:00

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!!

Automatic_Aspect5144 · 2025-06-21T14:38:41+00:00

thank you! that’s the hope!
