Does the Financial Aide Office have some kind of phobia of answering the phone?

<p>I can't get a hold of them EVER. At least SBS seems willing enough to answer every time.</p>

<p>Anyone get their aide yet? This time they're telling me to call back if I don't get anything by Thursday.</p>

<p>Nothing here so far.</p>

<p>omg i called them like 5times today…noone picked up!</p>

<p>I always have trouble calling them as well. Really frrustrating</p>

<p>My friend got all his aid today. Weird.
I think if you get non-UCSD scholarships also you still haven’t gotten anything.</p>

<p>you have to understand that hundreds of students/their parents/guardians probably call that number everyday and even if it seems like you never get through, you might just happen to call at the same time as a few other people.
and the go to number to call is the financial aid office, not sbs, so you should expect there to be higher traffic at the fao.
sorry i can’t offer any advice except to keep trying if your question is that urgent.</p>

<p>^ it’s ringin though.</p>

<p>how do you know if you got ur aid or not?? i go to financial aid tab under tritonlink, but cant seem to find how much aid i got and if i even received it or not!</p>

<p>Went to the office yesterday and saw on their doors that summer hours are from 1pm-5pm for the next couple weeks.</p>

<p>Maybe that’s why?</p>

<p>I got it guys. ^ we are calling between those hours</p>

<p>I appealed for the late fin-aid due to some mishaps, and it said a reply will come in Sept. It’s Sept and i’ve got nothing so far and thousands of bucks in the ‘unpaid transaction’ in Tritonlink, any words of wisdom for me?</p>

<p>^we both screwed</p>

<p>Yea sometimes they’re hard to get to… even during office hours. =(</p>

<p>@MySimp and Perched
Add me to that list -.-</p>

<p>I was even more hopeful when several people got theirs approved mid august…</p>
