<p>I've been told that I need to accept my admission to the before I can see my financial aid package. Is this true? If not, how can I see it, I've been accepted already.</p>
<p>Not correct that you must accept offer of admission first. They just haven’t sent any yet and you won’t see it until probably April.</p>
<p>i heard you can check it online, true? my financial status online just finished calculating my need-base. when will i find out how much i can get?</p>
<p>This is not true. It wouldn’t make sense to have to make a decision without sufficient information, such as the financial aid package. I think this misinterpretation could have resulted from the fact that the financial aid information is sent out so late. That is because of FAFSA, not the universities. You should receive info about grants, loans, some scholarships and work-study within the month. Also, you could always contact the financial aid office to see if they have any information. </p>
<p>Make sure you have all info before makeing a decision. Costs are a huge determining factor for most students!</p>
<p>i just got an email that told me to check my financial aid status. i have not accepted my offer of admission and it showed me the financial aid letter that i am assuming will be arriving in the mail soon. apparently UIUC thinks my family can afford school without any help…</p>
<p>Anyone get anything other than Federal Direct Loans in their Award Summary?</p>
<p>The system is so slow right now!!</p>
<p>I just got Federal Loans, but my parents income is high so I expected that</p>
<p>what are you guys’ EFC? OOS or in state?</p>
<p>I got those too. When I checked online, I couldn’t see any awards except Fed loan.</p>
<p>Is there more award coming up besides loan?</p>
<p>I do hope there are more awards coming… My impression is that the individual colleges can still offer their own scholarships and such, but perhaps that’s nothing more than wishful thinking on my part ;)</p>
<p>did you guys find it under Award Summary?</p>
<p>yeah, psp-fifa-fan, it’s there…</p>
<p>I only got loans too :(
Looks like I’m going to have to cross UIUC off my list…</p>
<p>what are you guys’ EFC?? my Award Summary has only done the need calculation for me, guess i still need to wait for a while.</p>
<p>same here. $44,000 all in loans with the majority of aid coming from the PLUS loan. the rest was the unsubsidized loan. i am wondering did anyone get any aid OTHER THAN LOANS!???</p>
<p>Can everyone already see theirs? I applied/was accepted priority and sent FAFSA Feb 1st, so shouldn’t I be able to access mine? when I log in it shows my EFC and info and cost of attendance but no aid…is there a different site other than the “check your status” at the financial aid site?</p>
<p>JR526: I checked my financial aid status after i got an email saying that my award letter is ready for viewing online. So if u havn’t gotten the email, your aid is probably not finalized yet. Thats my guess.</p>
<p>makes sense. thanks for the quick response!
I probably won’t get anything anyway.</p>
<p>I got all loans. I guess it’s UCSB for me…</p>
<p>If UCSB is cheaper for you I’m guessing you’re from cali?
Thats funny because I got all loans from UCLA. Same boat.
Except I don’t think I’m going to get anything from U of I either. Probably not going there anyway.</p>
