<p>just find out that my financial aid award for 2007-08 is $4310 of Pell Grant only......it doesn't make any difference even I applied early in February......
My EFC is $0 and I don't have a job, how can I pay for all the expenses......?</p>
<p>ugh. I thought since you just found out that my financial aid would be ready but no. It says that mine has not been finalized and they will send an email notification to tell me when they are.</p>
<p>But 4k+ isn't bad. Do you have bright futures?</p>
<p>I don't have bright futures because I graduated from a high school in Hong Kong......</p>
<p>4k is good, but I still have $10760 unmet financial need......
It'd be good if UF can give me FSEOG and I. Douglas Turner grant......
I hope I can get the state grant after reclassification of my residency</p>
<p>damn i went to go check and nothing either and i applied ED. thats still good $ tho</p>
<p>ooh...financial aid stuff is out? i called them today and they said it wont be out until april? kewl i'm going to hong kong in may!</p>
<p>ya i applied for FASFA in early feb too!! parentals are bugging me about being on top of things and i keep telling them that financial aid isn't out yet.</p>
<p>maybe transfer applicants will have their financial aid stuff out first</p>
<p>yeah just checked ISIS...still not "finalized" yet</p>
<p>i hope you all realize we (including me) are b***ing about fin aid to a sick school because we dont wanna pay the whole like $4-6k for room/board after BF when everyone else has a bill of $40+k. funny</p>
<p>yeah lol how true...</p>
<p>if I get into Cornell and they shower me with money (which they won't) then I might go there...</p>
<p>otherwise it's GATOR COUNTRY for me :)</p>
<p>they told me that I am not eligible for other grant because they received my application on 23 March, but the ISIS shows that the UF received my FAFSA on 12 February......
I don't know what's happening......</p>
<p>Okay sorry for the stupid question but ISIS? What?</p>

<p>ISIS - Integrated Student Information Sytem </p>
<p><a href="http://www.isis.ufl.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.isis.ufl.edu/</a></p>
<p>the financial aid adviser told me that since I am admitted on 23 March, the financial aid office couldn't process my FAFSA until that date......</p>
<p>I think this is totally unfair......for transfer students who apply for limited program for Summer B or Fall term, they won't be eligible for grants other than Pell Grant because they are usually admitted after the so-called "on time deadline"......</p>
<p>That sucks. By the way, the on time deadline was March 15.</p>
<p>Jgonzo im also deciding between cornell and UF. I got into cornell rolling decision and UF rdII uf is in state for me so im just waiting to see wat AID cornell gives me</p>
<p>ill give you my personal opinion but im sure ill get flamed for this. I have the stats to get into better schools then UF but I refuse to go. I don't care for football so thats not it. The reason im going is because the financial offer is simply unbeatable. It's nearly a full ride (pay $4-6k a year) for a great school whos becoming increasingly more selective.</p>
<p>I'd rather take that financial burden off my parents' backs and save the equivalent up in a trust fund.</p>
