<p>When did you receive your finaid letter? EA'ers, how long after the acceptance did the aid letter come? I really need to know...if it will be worth turning down money from other schools to go to Chicago.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, I'm so stoked.</p>
<p>stoked.......or toked?</p>
<p>I didn't know you rocked the ganj.</p>
<p>Slamming, yo.</p>
<p>In any case, according to the acceptance packetageness, the FA thing comes in a week or two....perhaps sooner</p>
<p>I cannot wait that long! I'm visiting the other schools this week...</p>
<p>I don't rock it, but California vocabulary is just strange.</p>
<p>you crazy cals</p>
<p>With early action the financial aid letter that we recieved was a conditional letter. In other words, we are still waiting (at least I am) for our finalized financial aid ... hoping that the numbers didn't change for the worse.</p>
<p>did the acceptance letters come by UPS or fedex? or regular mail?</p>
<p>Well, I got my fin aid package yesterday. But then again, I live about 20 min away from the university.</p>
<p>That's odd, I live inside the university (one of the class rooms, actually) and haven't gotten anything.</p>
<p>I think they're waiting for you to pick it up yourself. ;)</p>
<p>ooo ... my letter arrived!</p>
<p>Cool. Does that make your decision final? (Or was it already final?)</p>
<p>decision = finalized.</p>
<p>UChicago Financial aid .... UPGRADE.</p>
<p>I'm so nervous...my Reed finaid, which I just got, was terrible, but thankfully UChicago is my #1. If they will just actually MEET my need, then I can find a way to handle it. Does anyone have an EFC of about $17,000 who has received their package and might PM me to tell me what yours was like? It might assuage my nervousness...</p>
<p>umm yeah chicago gave me NOTHING. like 2000 in loans. this sucks.</p>
<p>I just got my letter today. They gave me $21,000, which is really surprising. Both my brothers got nothing from their colleges, and my parents weren't expecting anything from Chicago.</p>
<p>Kyte, is that $21000 a year or $21000 total?</p>
<p>Congratulations either way!</p>
<p>$21,000 a year. Thanks! I'm still in shock.</p>
<p>man, they're probably going to give me like, 10 cents. in pennies.
:(</p>
<p>What are you cats doing about extra loans?</p>
<p>Tiffany, you'd be surprised. We weren't expecting anything, and they give me $21,000. I'm in PA, so depending on where you are, you should expect something soon. As for loans: I have no idea. I know there are different types, but would anyone care to explain them all to me? Or I'll just google it.</p>
