<p>Some of my friends were awarded money in their acceptance letter/package. Not to sound like an asswhole but i covered their gpa by like .3 and their SAT score by like 200, but there was no mention of me being offered money in my acceptance letter. Does that mean i will not be offered money to attend that school?</p>
<p>Was their money need-based or merit?</p>
<p>im assuming merit, since my financial aid status is a lot lower than any of my friends.</p>
<p>Their essays were jumpin jumpin.</p>
<p>Did you fill out the Fafsa, and other required financial forms? Some merit aid is tied to need. Also, did some of them apply for specific scholarships (ie: had to write a seperate essay), or for leadership/community service, special music/talent scholarship (perhaps auditioned), did you miss the deadline for scholarship consideration when you applied, or is the money for athletic talent? Also, some money could be for those with a legacy, or from a certain area (state, county, region), or for URMs.</p>
<p>they could be sent separately..</p>
<p>just to be sure we're on the same page, were these the same schools? The same offered your friends money and was silent on you?</p>
