I have been told by no less an authority than another parent:), that if you have a financial aid package that is less than you need and you have a peer school that offered better financial aid that some schools will improve their offer if you indicate that they are your first choice. The key he said was peer institution. Is there validity to what he said? My Ds first choice has not yet sent their FA packet but she has received a package from a school would be considered a level up that meets our need and we, with some stretching, can have her attend without loans. It is her 2nd/3rd (she only applied to 4 schools) choice and frankly I would be happy for her to attend.
