<p>Can you clarify that, SBDad, I'm confused about how you got it changed. Did you just kinda present your case and they decided in your favor??? And how were their numbers off?</p>
<p>I do not know if this has been addressed but the University of Chicago Grant that comes in the FA package, does that amount relatively stay the same when you reapply for it every year (not considering you have a drastic change in income)?</p>
<p>If one's financial situation varies from year to year, then one's FA package can also vary.</p>
<p>Ugh. I got nothing at all, and now I feel like I'll never be able to go. FastWeb is now my life...</p>
<p>Drummerdude,</p>
<p>I just called and asked if they would go over my EFC calculation with me over the phone. They found an "error" and we quantified it, but they do not reissue the financial aid letter because it is an estimate.</p>
<p>Thanks SBDad. And same here, ridonkulous, except at the back of my head I know that fastweb is life for millions of people now, so it's next to impossible to get anything.</p>
<p>I would hasten to add that the UC office of financial aid was extremely helpful and very informative in assisting me with my issue. Sometimes all we get is the negative about financial aid folks. I'm hoping it will all be OK in the end and DS will be able to attend.</p>
