Hi All,
I need some help with this, like i am so confused right now.
I am going to a community college for my first semester, maybe even year, because i decided on a lower price for the first year.

I was supposed to be in Northeastern University in Boston for this year, but like i said it was just too expensive. And i did this all last minute, so i wasn't really happy about it.

My question is when i reapply to Northeastern, which i have to do, how do i get more money out of them?? They gave me barely any financial aid, which is ridiculous because my parents have no money to spend on anything. I have 3 siblings 1 almost in college also, 1 in a private middle school, and the other is just in preschool. They don't see that though, they see that i live in a rich neighborhood, and that our house cost x amount, but my parents paid cash to get it out of the way, you know none of those hefty monthly payments. Now the house, completely paid off, counts as like an asset or something, so thats not good.

I need to have an advantage this time. I am thinking about writing a letter this time, but sympathy goes so far, i need another like hard edge to get more aid, or else im gonna be screwed with debt.

Any Input is Greatly Appreciated.

Mark.
