<p>were any of your guys’ financial aid package revised?</p>

<p>example: on the view financial aid tab for 2011/2012 i am shown …</p>

<p>pell grant
State uni. grant
subsidized loan
unsub loan</p>

<p>because my EFC is 0 i get a “full coverage” through loans but when i click accept / decline aid package it says award access for this year not available etc etc.</p>

<p>do you think i’m elligible for cal grant a/b? (I applied for fin aid and got it 3 years ago but for the next 2 years i didn’t apply for fafsa so there is a gap) So were any of your aid packages revised while this intermediary wait happened?</p>

422

<p>everything stayed the same except for my state university grant, which got larger actually. </p>

<p>in order to accommodate for the 200+ raise, it’s now in the 5k range as opposed to 4k</p>

423

<p>cool, i’m able to accept / decline the award amounts now…
sucks i’ll be taking out ~11k in loans and reading up on loans is kind of scary haha.</p>

<p>hopefully i’ll be able to get cal grants the next year since i wasnt able to make the mar. 2nd deadline!</p>

424

<p>Is anyone here living at Parkside? :o</p>

425

<p>lasssssssssst question cc!</p>

<p>so i’ve accepted my awards and disbursement is on the 19th … but do i “pay now” or do i just let it sit idly since i’m awaiting for disbursement. </p>

<p>i looked at financial aid deferment but I don’t think there’s a link available that says ‘defer me please’</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

426

<p>i’m sittign idly. since i know my aid will cover amount due. and it even says you cant wait for your aid to clear if its going to clear your costs</p>

427

<p>ty cc and tutu you’ve been really helpful :b
now time to find an apartment in the next two weeks * 3 *</p>

428

<p>have luck XD</p>

429

<p>I learned the hard way last year. Don’t do anything. It will be taken care on its own.</p>

430

<p>Do anyone know if getting accepted as a transfer student anymore difficult than a hs graduate? If so, what is an average gpa to be accepted and I will be majoring in business if that makes any difference.</p>

<p>[CSULB</a> Enrollment Services](<a href=“http://www.csulb.edu/depts/enrollment/admissions/transfer_gpa.html]CSULB”>http://www.csulb.edu/depts/enrollment/admissions/transfer_gpa.html)</p>

<p>Fall 2011 admission gpa results.
Look at the bell curve on those and you’ll have a general idea of acceptance or not.</p>

<p>Plan to have all your units / lower-div requirements done before you apply… you can have a few GE’s not done though.</p>

432

<p>I think it’s <slightly> easier to get in as a transfer especially if your major is not impacted.</slightly></p>

433

<p>Unfortunately, my major is impacted. Admission rate is not so bad though.</p>

434

<p>I feel high school cirriculum is easier but harder (childish mentality; young blood status) whereas cc allows you for more or less a second shot or opportunity at a better university.</p>

<p>You just have to work hard or get good grades and you’ll transfer in somewhere decent. I’ve honestly seen some less-intelligent beings transferring into more prestigious unis based on their performance in cc as opposed to hs. </p>

<p>transfer work does intensify though because cc does seem to dilute quite a bit (more often than not)</p>

435

<p>move in is saturday fff</p>

<p>who’s ready as i am? xD</p>

436

<p>I’m stoked for move in! I’m excited to meet my roommate and see if she and I get along. </p>

<p>I’m a transfer student living in Los Alamitos :)</p>

437

<p>I don’t remember ever stressing so much about school transitions. I don’t even remember if I was this nervous going to high school, lol. I thought I was pretty calm about going to college, but I’m starting to get jumpy. I just had a nightmare of getting lost @ csulb, and it involves Draco Malfoy O_O. This is weird because I’m somewhat familiar with csulb’s building locations(minus engineer because I have no classes there). How early should I show up at csulb? It takes me about 1/2 an hour to drive there and about an hour to get ready for school.</p>

438

<p>Draco? HAHA, what happened in this dream?</p>

<p>During the first week of school, parking is CRAZY and a complete hassle. Id’ say to come at least 45 minutes ahead of the time your first class starts.</p>

439

<p>Draco was making students pay him money for a textbook(ppl thought they had to buy the textbook, but it actually wasn’t needed, lol). After paying for the textbook, you have to duel him. Yeah, completely random. Makes no sense whatsoever. I lost :/. </p>

<p>Thanks for the tip!</p>

440

<p>I want to wish you all an amazing first day of school! I enjoyed talking to all of you and I hope I was able to help even if a little bit. Don’t forget to stop by when all the new incoming HS and CC applicants start asking questions on CSULB’s CC forum! GO BEACH!</p>
