<p>My son will not be getting one dime of aid. So, if he goes, it is going to be $44,000 a year for us. Any thoughts on if we should approach Financial Aid office? Very high probablility that son will be fencing for JH. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>im in the same exact situation. oy yoy yoy.</p>
<p>I got some FA, but not enough. I've been told I can appeal it, but I'm not sure how (or if they'll change it).</p>
<p>i didnt receive any Finaid either... i dont know how to go about appealing... any suggestions?</p>
<p>wait, how do you know you have received no aid? Does it mention in your letter?</p>
<p>You can log into ISIS. It's also in your admit packet.</p>
<p>hmm its not it mine. Maybe because I am an international though!</p>
<p>I am sorry but can you people give me an idea how much you orignally asked for and then were given no aid?</p>
<p>ISIS? not working! frustration...</p>
<p>We got absolutely nothing and called to find out what we might get if we tried to appeal. They laughed at my dad and told us that they only way to get financial aid is to "need" it. According to the man we spoke to, "need" means you have to drain your finances and have no money or really high debt to get financial aid. So if you have any money to put towards education, you're probably out of luck!</p>
<p>Yes, so all of you parents our there with younger chlildren.. take my advice.....buy the McMansion, buy the Mercedes, do Disney World three times a year. ski the Alps in winter, hop down to the Bahamas every few weekends in winter to keep up your tan. Go out to dinner five nights a week. Heck, go to TGIFridays for lunch every Saturday and Sunday!!!! Above and beyond...........do not save a penny....not one!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>JHU gave me no money as well. That crossed JHU right off of my prospective schools list, which sucks for them.</p>
<p>hmm guys who have got zilch, did you check the thing online or you got it in the package too? I am wondering because there may be a glitch in the internet ( i.e not everyone's might be indicated)</p>
<p>I just got my letter an I am getting 44050 of the 45144!!! My mom income was 9,000 (disability) for 2 years and I am Hispanic if that can explain. I dont have amazing stats. My SAT is 1200 and i got admitted for mechanical engineering.</p>
<p>congratulations on your admittance, rick!</p>
<p>Thanks Spike. I was very surprised and just proves to show never to loose hope.</p>
<p>congrats rick. i hope u decide to attend.</p>
<p>any1 wanna give me some of their money?</p>
<p>sorry, mom, but Hopkins offers few merit scholarships. It is mostly a need-based school.</p>
<p>What if son was going to fence for Hopkins? Any money that way?</p>
