So as you may know GT’s priority deadline is about 5 days from now.
I got my FAFSA and CSS form in aagggess ago. I am just trying to get the final requirement of some sorta extra application they want you to fill out done (hopefully they do not have an essay)… I have been trying to do that for the last few weeks.
Unfortunately, although I can login to buzz-port fine there is a technical error on their side when I click the application. Basically for some reason they cant get my login info into the GT financial aid app.
As you can imagine this has been a point of stress for our family. I have sent multiple emails their way, but it has been difficult due to slow response times. One time they said they fixed it when they haven’t. I am not sure wether or not they have ignored some emails. Still hoping to hear from my assigned FA counselor.
I have also sent multiple phone calls to various departments and each of the financial aid counselors. The only time I have actually been able to talk to a person is someone in technical support. He refused to help me because he believed I had to submit my enrollment deposit and commit to go to the school before I applied for financial aid. All other calls have gone to answering machines. I have left some messages but no replies.
This is really taking a toll on me because I have either been missing school, or missing sleep in order to call them during their east coast office hours (I am west coast). This has been happening about every day. I have been telling my parents that I am making progress so they will stop getting angry at me about it, but in reality I am basically exactly where I was last week when I first noticed this problem.
I really dont know what is going on. Perhaps I am to persistent and made them angry? Perhaps they just don’t care?
What can I do at this point?
Also if you did fill out the application can you please tell me what was on it so I can prepare to fill it out quickly should they ever resolve the error?
