<p>i logged into myFAO to look for my financial package(epal), it's not ready yet. However,i filed my fafsa back in January~~
does anyone else have the same prob like me? though im not expecting much from UCLA due to the economic crisis,, i still like to see wat they have to offer~~</p>
<p>pls post here if u have gotten ur FA offers(excluding regents), or you have not.</p>
<p>Yeah, I have the same problem. I tried calling the financial aid office, but couldn’t get through. My friend is also in the same situation. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon!</p>
<p>thanks~ good to hear that i’m not alone :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I got my FA award info, and I filed my FAFSA in mid-Feb along with the Cal Grant. Are you OOS?</p>
<p>yes im oos…</p>
<p>It’s not going to be much so don’t be surprised. You are, however, going to receive lots of loan from UCLA.</p>
<p>^yes i know. still, lol.</p>
<p>I got 10,000 dollars in gift aid; no grant, so basically I still have to pay 36,000 dollars. That’s a pretty hefty amount. So yeah, are you definitely going to UCLA? Did you get into Carnegie Mellon?</p>
<p>i got waitlisted at cmu’s cit, and pretty dead set on UCLA unless some financial prob occurs later~ im going to accept LA’s offer and see what happens. hehe did u get in</p>
<p>Yeah, I got into UCLA and Carnegie Mellon CIT- waitlisted at electrical engineering though. I didn’t really want to do electrical engineering, I just randomly chose some department. So yeah it’s all good. But I’m most likely not going to CMU because the school in my opinion is kinda dead; there’s no social or athletic atmosphere. Also I heard the workload is crazy and among other things, I heard the girls there are less than desirable haha (don’t know if you care about that though). I think UCLA a good choice especially for an OOS; one gets to experience the LA life, the good weather, outstanding education, etc. I would choose UCLA in a heartbeat but the money is somewhat of a problem for me. </p>
<p>Did you also get waitlisted at ECE or the entire engineering school? Either way, UCLA is a great school so congrats on your acceptance.</p>
<p>thanks, i find it to be a blessing to be admitted to LA after being rejected berkeley.
i don’t know what you mean by the wl at CIT/ECE, i didn’t get my actual packet yet, but under CMU’s online thing, it says CIT --ECE --waitlist, not sure if i was waitlisted at ECE…</p>
<p>That’s what mine said, but then I got the packet and I was actually admitted to CMU’s CIT, just not ECE. I too got rejected by Berkeley as well so you’re not alone. I’m guessing that you probably did get into CMU’s CIT and just not the ECE department. Good luck.</p>
<p>On the side note, I just got my scholarship to UCLA in the mail today. It’s very well done. It’s in a big white packet and inside is a very nice blue folder with a mail and behind it is a very very nice award with my name on it. So yeah if you get aid it will be in that form too most likely.</p>
