So…I filed my financial aid on time back in February, everything went smoothly so I didn’t think to check the status of my financial aid. I checked again now and UCSD hasn’t received my financial aid documents because I checked my application…I added the wrong university.
This is kind of crisis mode for me, is there anything I can do?
FAFSA? Go to your FAFSA account and have them sent to your college. When we did FAFSA we got a confirmation that info had been sent naming the college.
Since it’s so late in the process you might end up with a reduced award if the school has used up most of its money. It’s still worth trying. You’d probably still get loans and PELL grant if you are eligible.
Is there anything I can do to show them that I did do my FAFSA on time?
I have no idea. You might have received a confirmation from the wrong school you entered. That would have a date on it. Check your SPAM emails.
I did this same thing, and so did others. Submit the correction on the FAFSA website before June 1st, and UCSD should update automatically a few days after.
Yeah, I made the correction. Should I still go talk to my financial aid department?
When I did it, I didn’t e-mail or call anyone, and I checked a few days later and my FAFSA information was there.
Up to you though!
I also chose the wrong school, but reported it to the financial aid office in mid May and they told me to submit an appeal. Now I got my award but I didn’t get the UCSD grant-in-aid and work study. Did you guys get full financial aid?
