@mattm12334 I have every intention to badger them for money. I got an associates in a year and a half. They can’t possibly say no, I’m not taking 22 credits because it’s fun
@danamajew yeah there office takes forever.
Just called, they told me that my package had been approved but they are waiting to send it out.
@Spdomx called them as well. They said that to me as well, and ill find out earliest on friday or latest Tuesday.! hopefully friday!!!

Does everyone have this message on financial aid?
@a20171 I didnt get that message.
@a20171 Did you get your package?
@mattm12334 nope! just this message describing what the different types of aid mean. I don’t know what it means because at my current school my grant isn’t my full tuition and I think it has a bigger endowment so I don’t know why I’d be getting a housing grant
oh ok. It will probably be updated by today, for the packages. @a20171
Just called again. They told me by mid next week! What the heck? On top of that, they raised my EFC by $1000 for discernably no reason at all. This is all really disconcerting guys.
how do you know they raised your efc? @Spdomx dam, the guy told me he was going to try his best to let me know today, bc i have to let a school know on monday about my decision there
@mattm12334 I saw my EFC yesterday and it said it was less, I have to make a decision by the 12th so this really isn’t giving me much time…
where do you see efc? @Spdomx
@mattm12334 Its under estimated finacial assitance under messages.
you click the messages tab? i dont see it. @Spdomx
@mattm12334 Yes it says on mine

@Spdomx thanks! for some reason, i dont have that. i dont have any messages.
Still nothing?
i called them earlier this morning. i told them i have a deadline for another school and they said they were going to do there best to try to get my package in today, but there were no gaurentees. some technical error for transfer spring students… thats why its taking forever, which is bull. @a20171
@mattm12334 @a20171 I am literally so pissed that it’s taking this long, I already missed several of my deadlines for other schools, they better have this done by tomorrow.
