<p>has anyone have trouble with them yet?</p>
<p>I've heard stories from some of my friends, but i never really expected it to be true. So far my experience with the finanacial aid office has left much to be desire.</p>
<p>As someone who goes to chicago now, i can tell you that they are...well let me say i would use some words that i cannot post on this board to describe them.</p>
<p>Just haven't gotten anything from them yet. </p>
<p>As time is closing in on me and I have to make decisions, this is VERY ****ING BAD. </p>
<p>If they have bad financial aid... I will have no idea where to go or what to do... and worse, I'll have basically NO time to decide because of how late I'm getting the financial aid.</p>
<p>GRRRRR!</p>
<p>like seriously i just had a arguement with one of the lady. kramer.</p>
<p>erghhhhhh</p>
<p>there's alike a problem with my name, the people who processed my citizenship ceritifcate messed up the order of my name.</p>
<p>I'm 17 right so i was going to wait until i turned 18.</p>
<p>But no... she wouldn't have that....</p>
<p>So i dragged my ass to the immigration department and to talk to a person there, and they told me that in order to get it fix i would have to pay $221 and it would take a year to process.</p>
<p>The thing that really ****es me off to is that she told me, before the conversation i just had, that because your names do not match, you can not recieve federal aid. </p>
<p>I emailed her back and told her that it found that to be odd because currently i have recieveing many state grants and federal grants, i even took out a stafford or perkins loan, in aiddtion to the other insitutional aid.</p>
<p>She then told me that Tulane was not in compliance with the regulations and that she will report my school. I was like ***? </p>
<p>When i was in hs, i was accepted to many schools which offered me federal and insituitional aid, NYU and BU. Apparently they aren't in compliance either.</p>
<p>And apparently my brother 's public school isn't in compliance either.</p>
<p>I mean what a *****. Like for those schools i applied to when i was in hs i just had to send them a copy of my certificate and my ss card. </p>
<p>I mean cornell right now is sorting it out for me and they told me that everything would work out find.</p>
<p>I'm just so freaking ****ed.</p>
<p>Yeah. I'm just an applicant and I've had a lot of problems with their organization.</p>
<p>Through email and postal mail, they've basically told me they never received any of my forms. ANY of them. One of these missing forms was Form 4 -- the one you can (and I did) submit online. When I called and asked about this, they said "We don't have access to that anymore, would you please print it out and fax it to us?" ... What do you /mean/ you don't have 'access' to that anymore? Jeeze.</p>
<p>So I faxed that. And I refaxed the tax forms. And then I Fed-Ex'd the tax forms because apparently fax isn't go enough for them. Same for the 1099/W2's.</p>
<p>They're incredibly disorganized, and if I am accepted, from what I've heard I can expect very little from all of this trouble. Sigh.</p>
