Has anyone out there in the past had any real success with this? I'm specifically asking about increasing merit awards, NOT anything need based. If so can you elaborate what that looked like? Like specifics like "I appealed for an additional 10K and got 2K..." etc. And also if you appealed and were unsuccessful I would be very interested in that information as well. Actually quite a few CC parents out there with seniors right now trying to navigate this crazy process would be interested to know people's actual experience.
I think a lot of CC'ers on here have said things like "appeal all awards!" but when we have drilled down to get the facts behind those appeals they have either been unsuccessful or minimal at best. Additionally, does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not to appeal more than one award at a time? D is down to her final two schools. We have already appealed school A and if that is unsuccessful (which I expect it to be) I plan to appeal school B. Should I appeal to school B now? I feel as though we need to give a commitment to attend school B before we appeal... does anyone have thoughts on that?
If you feel more comfortable sending specific information in a PM I would greatly appreciate that as well. I think this is all very useful information for all of us going through this during the crazy month of April.
