<p>I am pretty happy :)</p>
<p>50,000 in financial aid.</p>
<p>When did you receive it? I didn’t get anything in the mail… </p>
<p>Is it on OASIS? <em>checks OASIS</em></p>
<p>Did you get in the mail?
I didn’t get anything in the mail either… and OASIS didn’t have anything</p>
<p>Nope, nothing on OASIS. What was your EFC?</p>
<p>I mean, WOW. 50k!!!</p>
<p>I hope I get somewhere near that. xD</p>
<p>Yeah, where did you hear about your financial aid…i got nothing on oasis??</p>
<p>i got mine in the mail today. </p>
<p>I live in southern california.</p>
<p>got it in the mail today. and my EFC was 0, so I expected something around there.</p>
<p>Ok, then i guess since I live in WA I should be getting it tomorrow. Was yours pretty generous too Yale_Hopeful?</p>
<p>Hey ‘squadus’ ! =] mmm yeah I think my financial award was pretty generous… I got around 38k of free money and around 7,000 in work-study/federal loans. </p>
<p>but Boston U. still offered me more, and NYU offered me a little more than half tuition… </p>
<p>so I have no idea what to do! </p>
<p>suggestions?</p>
<p>Wow nice. Overall, USC is a much better college in a nicer area, but really, it’s up to you to decide. 
With 38k free money, you won’t be going broke at USC.</p>
<p>How come you said ‘squadus’? haha</p>
<p>i’m nmf so i get the automatic presidential. but i’m still waiting on fin aid. i think that the scholarship will have a negative effect on the fin aid they give me. what do you think?</p>
<p>Happy_Sunflower is NOT happy. This is a very sad day. I was hoping the package would be better, but they have raised our EFC to be $14,000, but originally it was $5,500 with Fafsa. I cannot fathom when looking at our finances where they think we can come up with another $9000, unless they expect us to come up with loans. I was getting excited, and hopeful, but this is going to out of the question for us. </p>
<p>Maybe UCLA will be the better answer.</p>
<p>The awards are up on OASIS for anyone who’s interested in checking.</p>
<p>ruskie, if you don’t mind me asking… how much of that is in loans?</p>
<p>um I got 3500 subsidized, 2000 unsub, and 2500 work study</p>
<p>what’s ur EFC? if u dont mind me asking. and did they e-mail you to notify you of your award being ready or did u just randomly check OASIS?</p>
<p>

<p>Post #7 .</p>
<p>ohh ok thanks and sorry.</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten my financial aid yet. I’m curious because it shows under my documents that my PROFILE and FAFSA were processed on 2/9/09. I submitted FAFSA on the 2nd (I forget) and the CSS on the 3rd (it was a day late because I was missing some info). Is it bad that it was processed on the 9th? My Tax Returns were all processed the day I sent them (2/27/09). I hope it doesn’t slow down my fin aid too much.</p>
<p>Is USC likely to get close to meeting your EFC within a couple of thousand, regardless of what it is?</p>
