I have been lucky enough to get into couple of MDs. Up until this morning, I was committed to a midwest school with quarter tuition scholarship. I am from NYC so I was sad about going to midwest.

This morning I got off WL to an In State private school and I am 100% sure I will attend this school because due to familial reasons, I would prefer stay in state. However, since I got off WL, I don’t know how to approach them about financial aid stuff. This school would be 63k more over 4 years, so I was wondering could I leverage my other oos scholarship to ask for financial aid at this school I got off WL. Or would it not be possible since it was an A off WL, not direct A?
