<p>LMU tends to be very stingy with their aid compared other similar schools - at least they were last year. They gave me less than half of what I got for Chapman.</p>
<p>Good news is though, for fall 2012 they are giving out 10% more financial aid than in previous years. In addition, I know that if you can present a solid argument for more aid, they have been known to indulge student requests for strong cases.</p>
<p>Hey you guys, if you check your financial aid right now, it might be up because I checked mine on Saturday and it was there!</p>
<p>Thankfully, I got a $35,208 financial aid package and I officially enrolled at LMU yesterday! I was so happy, because Boston University only gave me $8,500… Ack.</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you and I hope to see you guys in the Fall! :)</p>
<p>if you wanted to appeal your financial aid offer, what do you do? do you just email the financial office?</p>
<p>you need to fill out the form and write a letter of appeal. if you call the financial aid office they can help you through it!</p>
<p>Yup, my EFC is ALMOST 8,000 and yet I have to pay over 30,000. I sent in my letter of appeal and they said I should get a reply by mail by May 1, yet it is unlikely that it will do anything. Hoping for a miracle.</p>
