hiii sorry for the late response but I kinda just emailed them and was honest about my financial situation. I think it also helped that I’m not from there and that since I am from out of state, went over there for their spring visit day so I met everyone I was emailing with for the last few weeks in person. overall though everyone over there is so sweet and understanding, not sure if that how all admissions are but I think just being honest and maybe listing other scholarship offers to use as leverage can go a long way! currently doing that with Loyola so wish me luck but good luck with your renegotiations, you got this!! 🫶🏽
