<p>what the heck. the aid that im getting is impossibly low</p>

244

<p>Hmmm interesting, I have a EFC of sorts under the financial award thinger, too...since most of us do, I'm guessing it doesn't mean much?...Unless we're all accepted, which would be the bomb-diggity.</p>

<p>unless they spread all the aid to all the applicants..... which would be so wierd...</p>

<p>but really. is the aid that they are showing right now about right or very low?</p>

247

<p>Oh, and thank you for the link, luna!</p>

248

<p>Hmmm... our EFC was around 29k... so that aid doesn't seem right... did everyone get those same numbers as I posted?</p>

249

<p>fengshuibundi--I have that breakdown, too. </p>

<p>Hahah we all really need our decisions :-P</p>

251

<p>It seemed low to me, though mine was different than the one posted so it's definitely individualized. I'm kind of wondering if they calculated aid for all of the applicants, but why would they bother?</p>

252

<p>yea. my EFC is 8k and that came around to be 20k.</p>

<p>so this relaly means nothing since all the numbers are skewed and everyone has them.</p>

253

<p>fengshui--Sorry, late post, I don't have the same numbers....my EFC is significantly higher, unfortunately haha.</p>

254

<p>wait nvm. no hug... our numbers are tailored to us... :&lt;/p>

<p></3</p>

255

<p>My EFC on the brown page was 22,000 which is about 2,000 more than the FAFSA estimated.</p>

256

<p>I am so confused...what is all of this? I have aid information too, but then under it there's a thing that says "No award information has been recorded for aid year 2007-08"</p>

257

<p>Through selfservice I can't access my finaid btw.</p>

258

<p>now my award isn't there...5 minutes later.
What the heck this is driving me crazy lol</p>

259

<p>same! hahaha funny</p>

260

<p>I have different numbers than Fengshuibundi...lower family contribution, ect. so it's not just a generic thing. But WHY would they bother to figure this out for all applicants?</p>
