Financial aid

<p>for those accepted, anyone get a financial aid packet yet?</p>

<p>Mine was announced with the acceptance letter, I guess because I'm international and it would be inconvenient to send stuff in 2 different packages.</p>

<p>I haven't received anything about financial aid yet. The acceptance letter said two weeks, and it's been about that, so it should be coming soon.</p>

<p>i received mine....more generous than i would have expected.</p>

<p>My package wasn't too good compared to my other offers. $5,000 gap w/ efc of 0. </p>

<p>I think this may have been caused by Bucknell's different methods of determining aid. They only use the CSS/Profile and my estimations back in January were off by quite a bit. </p>

<p>Hopefully, they will reevaluate my financial aid when I call them Monday b/c their supposedly generous financial aid came back to be the worst of all my offers so far (Lehigh $1500 loan + Lafayette gave full grant).</p>

<p>Does Bucknell consider other schools' offers if you ask for a reevaluation?</p>

<p>For those who have received the aid package: Was it all of grant/scholarship or did it include campus work/loan? I'm just curious because Bucknell seems soooooooo generous!!!!</p>

<p>I found my financial aid package to be very generous (Total Package = 28 k), and the Bucknell Scholarship (21,500 K) made the price of Bucknell very reasonable. Basically I'm really happy with the package, because I wasn't expecting nearly that much (White Middle Class Male from LI, New York).</p>

<p>Anybody in New England get their fin.aid package yet? If so, on what day?</p>

<p>My D is going crazy waiting.</p>

<p>I got a really, really good package, almost completely scholarship/grant. I'm very happy.</p>
