@turnerk hoping it comes out soon

FA is out!

My son, priority waitlisted at CMU, got a big fat zero from financial aid. I hope all of you get better news.

Do you get FA offers while on waitlist?

Anyone else getting an error trying to access financial aid?

yes, I do

cmu calculates FA for waitlist and accepted students

Is FA for 4 years? (Absent changes in circumstance, of course.)

I can’t access my FA, the portal keeps crashing.

Portal is still down

It’s kind of back up. Super slow. Still can’t see fin aid

Guess im not going to SCS. Terrible financial aid :frowning: Shouldn’t have got my hopes up

im getting “error with your account” when i try to view my FA. i was waitlisted in case this is relevant. anyone else getting the same?

No financial aid offered, not even a loan.

YAY I GOT MY AID AND I GOT A LOT!!! What a dream come true. :smiley: #:-S

the FA is amazing so i really hope i get off the waitlist!! blown away.

How did you guys get so much money and is it all need based money? @anonymous_otter127 @ACollegeHopeful3

@pianomonster20 its all need based and a loan/work study. no scholarship. my EFC is 3k.

I got gift aid. It’s a grant. Idk if it’s need based or merit.

@anonymous_otter127 gift aid as a grant is usually need based, if it was merit there would be another indication (plus CMU doesn’t offer much in the way of merit scholarship)
