<p>[/ul]General Comments:
CANT WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR! congrats to everyone who got accepted</p>
<p>Oh nice, I’m from Bellevue</p>
<p>Wait how long do we have to file in the deposit? I’m doing it tomorrow morning most probably, U Chicago deferred me so I’m gonna withdraw all my apps. Also is there any way to up your financial aid estimate? 20k in loans is manageable but still too much.</p>
<p>Remember it’s just an estimate. You’re real package will come in April after you’ve filed the FAFSA. I had questions as well, so my family called the Financial Aid office and they answered all our questions.</p>
<p>!!!ACCEPTED!!!
