Financial Aid

<p>All my friends have received their financial aid packet on how much they're gonna get and such, but I still haven't received mine. No mail nor emails. I went on my MYUCSC almost daily to check if I get a message or anything changes, but still nothing. On my "To Do List" my FAFSA is already completed and I have nothing else I need to do. Should I notify the school about when I'll get my financial aid info? I'm still considering about whether or not I want to go to UCSC, and the financial aid is a main factor in my decision and I have less than a month to decide.</p>

<p>i am in the same situation with my financial aid as you are, with the completed statement and they don’t need anything. some people tell me you don’t find out until after you accept, the offer, which obviously isnt the case if you have friends who got their packets and havent accepted theirs. i don’t understand the process either =&lt;/p>

<p>yeahh, cause one of my friend received his financial aid packet and they basically gave him a full ride so he accepted the offer. my parents are against me going to school so far, since i live in SoCal, the financial aid is a big factor for my consideration.</p>

<p>i live in so cal too. thats bizarre, i don’t understand how they don’t let you know before the admissions deadline, they have to. i’m going to wait a few more weeks before i start getting too concerned i guess. but the update on my portal says no self-service or something along those lines. not sure what that means</p>
