<p>So no one received any financial awards besides loans? Any grants out there?</p>
<p>I got lots of merit aid, so even though mine is all loans, it's no big deal (I would only need like 5k per year in loans plus my college savings). Probably one of my better finanacial options (compared to MIT especially...)</p>
<p>i know they dont meet 100% of need, but about how many % do they meet if my EFC is 0?</p>
<p>hey guys... I am just wondering, but how did you get in the page? When the page prompts me to enter my NetID, I entered the ID I used for the application but it didn't work... :(</p>
<p>My EFC is like 7250 and they met like...none. I have all loans. <em>sigh...OOS too</em> </p>
<p>Even though I want to go pretty bad, I really can't. =(</p>
<p>meeshellee- that's what happened to me at first.. i entered my id/pw and it said error 49 or something like that. i think i clicked the new users button and then 1. Log in to the Password Reset website at: the site, and i changed my pw (i actually just kept it the same) and then it worked.. idk if thats what ur supposed to do but it worked for me</p>
<p>oh yea i'm oos too.. idk what my efc is but they me all loans so idk whats gonna happen now...</p>
<p>Oh well, I got accepted to USC today and they meet 100% of need, so even though I'd rather be at UIUC I guess I'll most likely go there. </p>
<p>Wheee</p>
<p>how many % does UIUC meet?</p>
<p>100%</p>
<p>in loans</p>
<p>100% in loans.....sigh
what about need-based aid? my EFC is 0, will i get at least 50% aid?</p>
<p>My EFC was 7250 and they gave me like 3k and the rest in loans. I wonder if they anticipate any of these OOS with low incomes to even think twice about going to UIUC with pure loans.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure i'm not going. (oos)
i got 9k$ from uiuc, but the rest is in loans.</p>
<p>Wow. I will be ecstatic to get 9k. my EFC is around 6500.</p>
<p>I just got my financial award letter and here are the results! (I got an email that told me to register at a site and when I logged in, I saw my award letter)</p>
<p>With an EFC of 0: the cost of attendance for the whole year is $30k and I got $18k from grants and $12k in loans. Fed Direct Loan PLUS - 4k, Fed Direct Loan Subsidized -3.5k, Fed Direct Loan Unsubsidized 2k, University Loan-Sayers - 3k.</p>
<p>Just to be sure, I don't have to pay any of the loans listed above until I graduate (in 4 years) from UIUC right? How does the interest work on those loans? I hear that I don't have to pay interest until 6 months after I graduate.</p>
<p>All 44k in loans. So retarded...</p>
<p>what's your EFC?</p>
<p>so, did anybody get some form of aid other than loans?</p>
<p>Is anyone else still waiting on an award letter?</p>
<p>i am still waiting…</p>
<p>i already received my need based letter and it was all 44k in loans… is there any chance of still receiving merit scholarships? Or do you think they already sent them all out in one batch? (I know a couple of kids from my school who got theirs already) I’m oos and an engineer if that makes any difference…</p>
