<p>kool, thx
dunno why, mine is still showing the estimated stuff</p>
<p>yeah, same here. Mine's still the estimate.
when are the real FA packages gonna be sent? do we hafta wait til april?</p>
<p>just checked mine today, its finalized
but it didn't really change from before...o well, still good enough for me to accept it!</p>
<p>an addendum to my last post:
although its good enough, its still 3 times my fafsa's efc...should i/can i do anything about that?</p>
<p>I'd call them up. I mean it doesn't hurt to try. Also, maybe you can show them other school's financial aid packages?</p>
<p>AHHHHHH!!!! I got the new official FA award today through Axess!!! It's freaking amazing how generous they were. I called stanford and the paper versions are being mailed on Friday so good luck to ppl who haven't gotten it yet.
I'm really really happy with the offer, but I'm <45K and i didn't get zero expected contribution. not to complain, but does that mean the new policy's not true then?</p>
<p>I'm <45K and i only have to do 2500 of work study a year (the rest is a combo of grants and scholarships, although I didn't get any outside awards). </p>
<p>So it is true. :)</p>
