Financial aid notification

<p>Has anyone received theirs yet????</p>

<p>My d received her FinAid letter in todays mail.</p>

<p>Oh good - hope we get ours soon.</p>

<p>My D got hers in yesterday's mail. We live in the Pittsburgh area.</p>

<p>So - would it be so wrong of me to call #2 son (who is the one awaiting this information) and make him get out of bed to go check the mail periodically? He is home with a stomach bug.</p>

<p>(just kidding of course, our mail never gets there until after 4 pm anyway).</p>

<p>Did the finaid section of the whereami page update?</p>

<p>I got mine in the mail today. I'm from NY. But no, my financial aid section of the page didn't change.</p>

<p>Oh wait, I got mine in the mail today.</p>

<p>$3800 in grants, yay...</p>

<p>I got mine. $4773 in grants...</p>

<p>I got my financial aid today in CT. And I was plesantly surprised at how much financial aid I got. So far CMU is one of my most affordable options. CMU gave me nearly $20,000 in grants while Johns Hopkins claimed my family has no need. Yay Carnegie Mellon!</p>

<p>does anybody that has received their package mind sharing how much they got/their EFC? I'm still waiting for mine, and im trying to get an idea of what its gonna look like. thanks.</p>

<p>wait... are you guys ED-ers? I called and they told me second week of April.. :(</p>

<p>I am RD and got it today. They said they might match other private school offers.... would they possibly exceed them?</p>

<p>I'm an EDer but didn't get anything yet.</p>

<p>i just got mine, completely upset. about half the amount of grant other schools gave me. cmu was my first choice, might have to rethink....</p>

<p>CMU will probably match your other schools' aid, if they're comparable in status.</p>

<p>And yes, I'm an EDer.</p>

<p>would they match USC?</p>

<p>^^^^^^^the dude who said JHU gave him nothing...me 2. they didnt even meet any of my need.</p>

<p>anyways, cmu has given most grant so far. we'll see what cornell/penn offer and then decide on the college.</p>

<p>Got ours. It far exceeded my expectations. CMU still definitely in the running.</p>

<p>^^ good or bad?</p>
