<p>We live in Illinois. Both schools Northern and Illinois State are in state for us.</p>
<p>Northern Offered us nothing other than two small loans. Illinois State has not sent out their letters yet for financial aid. But I am worried that since we got nothing from Northern it means that we will get nothing from Illinois State.</p>
<p>DD has 3.7 gpa 26 on ACT. Not the top of the heap but certainly better than then average.</p>
<p>Should I call Financial Aid at Illinois State and tell them I am worried and let them know that they are daughters first choice? Does this ever do any good?</p>
<p>Help. panicked mom here!</p>
