u/Educational-Cash-209

Hey y'all hope you are doing well.

I have vertigo from the elation and utter turmoil that this application process has put me through.

Being from a middle class family from Idaho with a deceased mother and 3 siblings who; though they are out of the house, still require a solid amount of assistance from my father, made me believe I would get a reasonable offer from Reed.

My financial aid offer came back, I am being offered $25,000. On paper this figure is great, but Reed is $95,000.

How did the appeal process go for you guys? Do I just need to get my dad to disown me to get access to a good education?
