<p>thats crazy. I din't know that. I guess I'll have to decide. To work study or not to work study.</p>
<p>I think I got shafted from UMD too. I got 4.5k of merit aid there, but...
20k merit aid from NYU
25k Bloomberg (merit I think) scholarship from Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>OK -- could some of you math majors--business majors please advise. ....after reading "choosing a lender" under the financial aid web page form U of MD, I still can't figure out what the best one is.........please advise. (for the sub. stafford loan) which one is everyone else going to pick?</p>
<p>you go to <a href="http://www.financialaid.umd.edu%5B/url%5D">www.financialaid.umd.edu</a>. click on "choose a lender"</p>
<p>ok, its due today right? My eduational assistance grant is still listed as offering 3000 and accepting 0. I just turned in the sheet two days ago which is still 12 days berfore the deadline so it obvioulsy hasn't gotten to them yet. Do i just accept it at 0 and will it see that I sent the sheet in a few days?<br>
Is everyone sure it is due today becaues I can't find anything about when it is due anywhere.</p>
<p>I just called. I first talked to a receptionist and I asked when entering freshmen have to accept the package online. She said if it is there we can accept it and I then asked when the deadline was. SHe transferred me to a councler and then she said that we have basically till whenever and said if we changed our minds and wanted to accept something in 2 months it still would be there. Just to make sure I said 'so we can accept it bascially whenever' and she said yeah.</p>
<p>because i am somewhat crazy and becaues I have over 16000 in aid and need every penny i am going to call again later or have a friend call to be sure.</p>
<p>The only reason i haven't accepted it is because i want that money from the MHEC to show up on it when i do accept it.</p>
