<p>hey guys i just want to ask one quick question about financial aid..i applied early action and was accepted in december,, then i received this estimated financial aid sheet, so am i supposed to receive the final one sometimes? cause i haven't and am getting anxious :(</p>
<p>Many of us on here are waiting. It’s stressing me out too. I’m calling tomorrow when they are back in the office.</p>
<p>heuuu…thanks for telling me, Do Work : )… yeah i tried to call but its easter monday so…</p>
<p>I spoke with financial aid and the counselor said all packages went out last Wednesday. We haven’t received it and they couldn’t give me information over the phone. The applicant tab on MyFordham has disappeared on my D’s page and we can’t get in to see it online. The login on My Files doesn’t work. I have IT working on it now. Talk about a test in patience…ughh. Can anyone get into theirs online??</p>
<p>i have access to the applicant tab, then i log in to the financial aid page but nothing’s there… pretty bad with technology too… anyway i receive a message saying that my file is sent out so maybe i just have to be patient… oh and also, they said they didn’t receive the complete FASFA untile April 1st… the funny thing is that apparently FASFA keeps making corrections to my file (3 times…) even though i didn’t change any of my information after submitted it in march</p>
<p>Mailed on Weds. and no delivery in Mass by Tuesday? I doubt the info is correct from the University.</p>
<p>i got mine probably on friday. i was an EA’er.</p>
<p>I’m with the “I-have-yet-to-receive my package” group. I’ve emailed, called, and done everything one could possibly do to find out why it’s taken so long. I got the same answers as the rest of you, that we should get them around this week. It’s really frustrating! We have about 2 weeks before we have to make final decisions, and we don’t even know how our finaid will be. Also, do this mean that they’re making our packages after everyone else’s, so we’ll get less money? I tried asking them this, but they were being very vague.</p>
<p>collegebound91…it still didn’t arrive today for us either. I have another call in and I am not hopeful that they will return my call. They said it was crazy in the office today, no doubt as their phones are probably ringing off the hook with curious people! Admitted student days are this week, do they want to be bombarded then?? Can you access the online info? I don’t think the delay would hurt our $$ reward. </p>
<p>stephennn… how was your package vs. your EFC and stats?</p>
<p>We’re still waiting as well, and May 1 draws ever nearer. But collegebound91, I’m hoping that as people decline their offers, this is freeing up money isn’t it? I’m all for this re-distribution!</p>
<p>I recieved mine, and appealed it and they re-mailed out my new package today.</p>
<p>They said the revised should be up online in less than a week, and have the paper version in hand in a week.</p>
<p>DoWork + canamdance: I hope so!</p>
<p>2009PantherPaw: See, how does that happen, when some people haven’t even received any offer yet? It’s like they’ve forgotten about us, almost. All my aid info is in, and still, nothing.</p>
<p>And that brings up a good point. If our aid sucks, how will we have time to appeal and get new offers before May 1st?? I feel like I’m being backed into a corner.</p>
<p>And to whomever asked, I can log into My.Fordham, but it doesn’t list my aid.</p>
<p>So they never called back today, no surprise. Let’s hope our packages will be what we need. It’s good to hear appeals are recognized. Tomorrow is another day. I’m in NY so this is really frustrating!</p>
<p>and to canamdance…re-distribution! What a fabulous idea! I’m in!</p>
<p>Collegebound91:
I’m really not sure how that worked out for me, but I was calling ALOT to make sure they had a fire lit under them.</p>
<p>They initially gave us the run around on why they wouldn’t release it (waiting for the IRS to verify following april 15th? …that wouldn’t even get me a package by my first). Then they spoke to a supervisor, and it was released the next day which was Thursday.</p>
<p>We appealed it the next day (friday), and they were out of office till today! So…persistence and a bit of luck?</p>
<p>Here’s also to hoping our packages are great. Ha, shoot, we should get full rides after this long wait…</p>
<p>And 2009PantherPaw, very persistent! I’m always hesitant to contact them now, because I’ve done it so much already. Like they could rescind my admission for “extreme annoyance” or something. But I’m giving it until Thursday, and then I’m going to demand they just tell me over the phone.</p>
<p>Haha, collegebound, if you knew how many times i’ve called or requested info, I would’ve had my acceptance rescinded already. So thats definitely not the case. They want us as students, we’re an asset to them no matter what!</p>
<p>And yeah, they should be able to give it to you over the phone, that was the case last Thursday. I’d suggest getting your appeal letter together, calling first thing in the morning and faxing that afternoon. I just hope my appeal went well…</p>
<p>wait…guys …how do you check it online? i dont see anything on My Fordham–Applicant–Finaid…:(</p>
<p>i don’t get why you guys haven’t received yours yet lol. i sent in my CSS like march 15th - well after the deadline. and i didn’t even file the NCP.</p>
<p>Another trip to the mailbox, another day without hearing from Fordham. This just plain silly at this point. Admitted days are coming up and who knows if Fordham is a doable school.</p>
<p>So I called and requested our FA again. We received $5000 and all loans? Already Appealing…EFC is about 13000. Very grateful for the $5000 but need more! 2 kids in college in the fall. Something is not adding up!</p>
<p>Who has been successful with appeals??</p>
