<p>okay so i'm starting to get worried.</p>
<p>i filled out my fafsa during the middle of february and got my cal grant gpa verification thingy postmarked before the march 2nd due date.</p>
<p>not i got accepted to csulb, and since its the only school i really want to go to i clicked accept on their offer of admission before every hearing anything for financial aid. i go to my account on their site and it says no financial aid is seen,,</p>
<p>would me choosing to accept the admission of one school before hearing anything about financial aid cause me to forfeit it? and also, WHEN am i going to know how much money i got? </p>
<p>i haven't gotten any emails since sending my fafsa last month,,,</p>
<p>I doubt accepting hurt FA chances since Admissions and Financial Aid are different depts.</p>
<p>If you qualify for Cal Grant A, then you’ll get it.</p>
<p>What was your FAFSA EFC?</p>
<p>ah hopefully then. just scared of jynxing anything.</p>
<p>my efc was 00000. that mean anything possibly?</p>
<p>Well, you’ll get Cal Grant, Pell Grant, a student loan, and possibly some work study…and maybe some other help.</p>
<p>However, do plan on getting a summer job to help pay for anything that isn’t covered and so that you have some pocket money for the school year.</p>
<p>Sigh. So much the school doesn’t tell you about.</p>
<p>I’m going to research right now what a student work study program even IS,</p>
<p>And yeah I figured getting money now while I still can work without major difficulties or worry about major grades will work,</p>
<p>Any idea when I should start seeing financial aid information from a school? I’m thinking close to the term is when I can start picking my aid right?</p>
<p>(thank you for all the help already. It’s been vey help,ful.</p>

<p>Not sure what you’re asking. Soon you’ll get your FA package from your school listing your aid. </p>
<p>Re: Work study…once you get a work study award, call the school and find out what you’ll need to do to find a work study job for the school year.</p>
