fin aid

<p>My parents finally did their taxes and I faxed in the 2005 document last week. When will I get my fin aid package?? May 1 reply deadline is rapidly approaching, and after I get my fin aid letter I still need time to apply to loans to cover my EFC. When will I get my fin aid letter??</p>

<p>Please call the Office of Financial Aid.</p>

<p>i sent in everything before march 1st and still havent got my letter....</p>

<p>I did call the fin aid office, but the rep did not have a straight forward answer. I thought some people may have some experience with this</p>

<p>i recieved it like 3 weeks ago and i was admitted under ED</p>

<p>D was accepted interim, but didn't receive FA letter until last week.</p>

<p>I was accepted ED and I still don't have my fin aid package yet....</p>

<p>1) It's really late in the game, you should Call Rice ASAP.
2) I got mine a few weeks ago after sending in my documents on time. Then again, my calculation was easy because they offered no need aid.</p>

<p>i got mine today!!!!!!!!
I have to pay only my EFC
I am ecstatic</p>

<p>i still haven't gotten aid letter, but i'm not expecting much.</p>

<p>does anyone know if theres hope for appealing your FA decision? i definitely cant afford the price they expect me to pay, and i know that some schools will give you more money if they think you might go somewhere else</p>

<p>when we first received our fin. aid letter we were expected to pay about 2k more than the EFC on our FAFSA, in addition to some loans and work study. We sent an e-mail telling them our financial situation, how much we thought we would be able to pay, and that Rice was my 1st choice (emphasized this... kinda), and they gave us an additional 8k/yr in grants! I didn't think there was any hope in appealing, but now I know it doesn't hurt to try.</p>
