The portal is down and I’m getting super anxious!! Praying we get a decision at least over the weekend X_X
Does anyone know anything about FAFSA? My FAFSA says that I got a cal grant A from UCI for the full tuition for 2 years and I’m wondering if this is a good sign for getting accepted? Or is this totally unrelated to decisions?
Im super nervous too! Good luck to everyone!
@misskelseyk where do you check your fafsa status ?
I got an email from fafsa to check my cal grant award and it was there, it wasn’t on the UCI website or anything but under my “awards” on fafsa it said UCI had offered me the full tuition for two years. I didn’t get any money from the other schools i applied to
@misskelseyk my fafsa just says it’s been processed
When did you submit yours? I submitted mine early so maybe they have rolling awards or something
@misskelseyk I submitted my fafsa around feb 15
I submitted mine a little earlier than that. On March 3rd they emailed me from studentsupport@csac.ca.gov
Oh okay. I haven’t gotten an email from them yet! Thank you
No prob! Do you know anything about getting award money from a school though? Does it have anything to do with admissions? I feel like they wouldn’t offer me money if they were just going to reject me, but I don’t know. I feel like I also wouldn’t be surprised lol
@misskelseyk honestly I have no idea! I mean I got into UCR and it shows I have no financial aid for the school so there’s that. But if you’re already offered it then I think you have a good chance of getting in. Was UCI the first school you listed for financial aid ?
Yeah it was the first school, and the other schools didn’t give me any money, only UCI
Maybe they are unrelated and FAFSA is just awarding me money through my first choice school? I’m not sure
Ucr was my last choice so maybe that’s why they didn’t offer me any. My first choice was sb so I’ll let you know when I hear from fafsa
Awesome thank you!
How do you get the cal grant?
I got the cal grant by applying for fafsa, fafsa offers lots of different aid, some is merit based some is need based. The deadline to apply was March 2nd but that was just the priority deadline, you can still apply to receive other aid possibly
@misskelseyk I applied for fafsa but I haven’t gotten an email about a cal grant
