<p>LMU is my first choice and I want to go there so badly but I would have to pay/get loans for 36.5k per year to go. I can't possibly do that. My EFC was only $86, i have 3 siblings, and we are supported by a single parent (divorced). </p>
<p>Is there any way to get more aid? Will an appeal work? </p>
<p>Also, I felt I deserved more merit/grant money based on my academics. I had a 100.5 gpa (weighted, dunno what that is on 4.0 scale), 2250 SAT, 710 bio satii/780 math ii and good extracurriculars. I only got 5200 LMU scholarship. I feel as if I'm qualified for more than that. is there anything i can do about that?</p>
<p>heres the package i got if it helps any: <a href="http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx62/K0U7793/lmu.jpg%5B/url%5D">http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx62/K0U7793/lmu.jpg</a></p>
<p>i dont know what im going to do if cant go to lmu, if anyone knows anything i can do to get more money, please advise me. im desperate. thanks</p>
<p>Thats what I did, I am an international with EFC 1000$, I got a tiny award so I appealed. Haven’t received a reply yet.</p>
<p>Are you international? If so, then that could be the reason why you received little financial aid. LMU gives priority to domestic applicants.</p>
<p>good luck with your appeal intemister, let me know how it goes and how long it takes for you to hear back.</p>
<p>essceejay216, no im not international. I am out of state though but that shouldn’t be a factor that changes the situation (i think at least)</p>
<p>Ejm105989, go here and submit the forms and documentation. [Types</a> of Appeal](<a href=“http://financialaid.lmu.edu/prospective/appeals_and_special_circumstances/types_of_appeal.htm]Types”>http://financialaid.lmu.edu/prospective/appeals_and_special_circumstances/types_of_appeal.htm)</p>
<p>look at the other links on the left side bar too</p>
<p>Ok so my appeal worked, my award went up to 12,000$ . Anyone know if and how I can add to that?</p>
