so...financial aid?

<p>I filled out the bursary things many weeks ago and I still have "pending" on the status of the application. Should I give them a call? I need to know how much they are going ot help me out so that I can make a decision over which college to attend. Thanks</p>

<p>bump anything would help</p>

<p>I got 6,000 CAD. BU and Queen's were stingy in comparison. I wish I was offered more, but was impressed nevertheless.</p>

<p>was any of that money grants? Does anyone know if McGill gives out nice grants or not? Thanks</p>

<p>well, I suppose it would be considered a grant, as I don't have to pay any of it back. however, it really depends on your family's financial status and, if you're from the states, how "timely" they receive that college board profile aid form.</p>

<p>yeah, and it takes about another couple of weeks or so for them to review your request again, so don't bother calling. If you aren't offered aid, McGill also has in-course aid and work study</p>
