<p>I recently found a mistake on my FAFSA application, where I put my housing plan for Berkeley as off-campus instead of on-campus. I made the correction today, but is it too late for this change to be recognized by Berkeley? Ideally if I'm accepted next month I want to apply for housing as soon as possible.</p>
<p>I would also like to know the answer to this.</p>
<p>usually FAFSA corrections are accepted by the school’s within 2 weeks. If the decisions aren’t coming out til the end of April, then that is more than enough time for the correction to be processed. No worries broski.</p>
<p>Does it even matter? I think when you apply for housing you can state your preference then.</p>
<p>It annoys me, because I haven’t made up my mind yet. XD I seriously don’t know whether I’ll want to live on campus or off campus or whether I’ll even be able to just live with my mom (if we end up moving up by the uni anyway). I know… odd, but all of those have about as much of a chance of happening atm as the other so I just left on campus as my choice.</p>
<p>Come to think of that UCD probably takes that with a grain of salt because they firmly don’t house age 24+ on campus.</p>
<p>I am just going to do whatever is cheaper. If they give me more $$ to live on campus, and the end result is cheaper than an apartment, then that is what I want to do.</p>
<p>wwlink, I’m in the same boat as you, but ultimately it’ll come down to which option saves me more $$, and right now living on campus makes the most sense imo.</p>
<p>i was told that they adjust your financial aid for whatever you decide automatically, so no matter what, your efc will stay the same. I was told if what they offer doesn’t change to call and they adjust it for you.</p>
<p>for example, if your EFC is 5,000 and on campus housing is 10,000 but off campus is 8,000 and tuition is 10,000 (just for arguments sake) they will do this</p>
<p>10,000 + 8,000 - 5,000 = 13,000 and that’s what they have to provide for you
10,000 + 10,000 - 5,000 = 15,000 and then they provide that for you.</p>
<p>they always are required to at least cover what is above your EFC</p>
