<p>i just recieved mine yesterday and i am very happy with it ^^ i was wondering how well UCSD has met everyone's financial need. so post if you're satisfied or not to help future UCSD applicants who worry about financial aid. i know that money was a big factor for me in deciding which college to attend. maybe this thread will help future students by guaging UCSD's financial aid.</p>
<p>darn, haven't gotten mine yet.. :</p>
<p>I think UCSD is very generous when it comes to financial aid.</p>
<p>So UCSD is offering me (grants, no loans at all) $19616. The total cost is 22.6k</p>
<p>The remaining ~3000 will be payed off through scholarship money. :)</p>
<p>i havent received mine yet :(</p>
<p>is it the same as your preeliminary one?</p>
<p>yes i agree, UCSD is very generous. my official aid is very close (slightly higher actually) than my preliminary one. i got $14804 in terms of grants, $2850 in subsidized loans, and the rest will be paid by a $5000 per year scholarship.</p>
<p>Holy! I only got the 8K SD grant, and government grants are liek 6K.. WHAT GIVES??</p>
<p>Say uhhh.. if you don't get your aid now and that date passes july 12th, then what?</p>
<p>tien im with you i only got the 8k grant and the fed grants ... and im really really poor :(</p>
<p>i don't think there's a set deadline because my deadline is july 17. i guess it depends on when you get your notification so don't worry about it. tien and ric, that sounds about right because my 14k of grants included both UCSD, federal, and cal grants.</p>
<p>dang.. what did chemical do to get so much aid?? AND HE HAS A 60'' TV TO BRING TO SD FOR GOD'S SAKES -_-</p>
<p>well, its good to see that some people are on the same boat as me, financial aid wise.</p>
<p>dude chem plz tell me you are going to revelle so i can crash at your place and watch some tv :D ill bring the ps3</p>
<p>lol, i am not bringing a 60 inch TV.. would that even fit in the dorms? haha.</p>
<p>i'm bringing a 22' LCD HDTV. and sorry folks, i'm in warren.. but you're welcome to come over and watch anytime haha, though I heard Warren requires some kind of keypass to get in while the other colleges don't.</p>
<p>yea we have a keycard dont know if its the same</p>
<p>are you a engineering major?</p>
<p>Ok so, has anyone NOT been awarded a financial aid package??! Cuz I haven't and its starting to worry me.</p>
