<p>Hello All - I was unaware of the March 2 deadline for filing my FAFSA. Apparently at UCLA that means everything. Many other UC's have offered me tons of scholarships - actually Berkeley offered me close to a full ride. But my heart is set on UCLA - am I totally screwed out of financial aid for this year?</p>
<p>Any advice would be great.</p>
<p>THANKS!</p>
<p>Doesn’t look good. You might miss out on quite a bit of financial aid actually.</p>
<p>If your heart is really set on ucla i think you’re going to have to take out loans. My friend was in the same situation as you…after she got into ucla she found out they messed up on her fafsa or something… and even though it was their fault, she turned in her fafsa ON TIME and her family has VERY low income…she was forced to take out 20k in loans. </p>
<p>i guess you’re going to have to decide whether the debt for your dream school will be worth it in the end. just remember to turn in fafas on time next year! </p>
<p>but…wow! almost full ride to cal? i can see why you’re having a tough time deciding</p>
