<p>Hi, I am an OOS awaiting my financial aid package. Has anyone received it yet?</p>
<p>Nope.</p>
<p>My Onyen says:
"Your application for financial aid is currently being processed."</p>
<p>same here..=\ hopefully they'll get it out soon..until then i can't make up my mind about UNC~</p>
<p>Nope. It's killing me.</p>
<p>I called today and they said this week or next.... big help...</p>
<p>a couple people who go to my school (in-state) said they have already gotten finaid info online....what do you think about that?</p>
<p>REally, I have been anxiously awaitin my package for the last week and I am getting desperate since all of my other schools have sent me their package.</p>
<p>I think that they're are mistaken srendipity... but I could be wrong... I have been before :)</p>
<p>I think in-state people may have gotten it, there was a discussion going on in the class of 2011 facebook group.</p>
<p>I'm in-state.... hmm.... perplexing</p>
<p>Hmm likewise egghead nothing on the page so far... This is kinda ****ed up, considering how important financial packages are in making a decision between schools... Hope it's up soon.</p>
<p>I suppose we'll have to resort to venting about it on CC..... :) Perhaps the early notifications were for ppl not receiving much fin aid. Most of the ppl in the facebook group that already new eaither had a stafford loan or nothing at all.</p>
<p>^ haha I hope that's it egghead! I'm going to need a lot of FA (or a miracle) to go to UNC...</p>
<p>My D is oos and she heard on friday unfortunately there's not much there. Do you think its worth it to take out loans for UNC or go cheaper in Ohio</p>
<p>Go to Ohio. I think I'm slowly accepting the fact that I won't be a Tarheel next year.. oh well.</p>
<p>I would say it depends on which school in Ohio. Miami of Ohio would be a tough call because it is similar in size and the campus settings are somewhat similar, though Chapel Hill is a far better college town than Oxford and UNC is still a much higher rated school. If you're talking about BGSU, Akron, YSU, Wright State, Toledo it's a no brainer, if you can afford the loans to go to UNC.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input edad. It is Miami which is miniclone of UNC but you're right Oxford is no Chapel Hill. She's really interested in marching/pep band so UNC and the ACC really beat ou the MAC. Also science research we think would be better there. But Miami makes great scholarship offers!</p>
<p>Have you tried contacting UNC's FA Office? You can try by sending them a copy of the offer in writing from Miami to see if they will up the ante for her to attend UNC. They may not be able to match, but you may get a more competitive offer if they can see something in writing from another good school. It might be a better shot if you were comparing to true peers like Michigan or UVA but you'll never know until you try. Good luck!</p>
<p>Well it looks like UNC got around to getting the FA info up... Finally.</p>
<p>....</p>
<p>$0
Ah well Didn't expect anything really.</p>
<p>SS, where'd you find the financial aid info?</p>
