<p>who's with me?
how to pass the time?</p>
<p>its the ultimate decision in where I'm going.
and I've pretty much got my parents convinced that SC is the place for me.</p>
<p>sooo yeah. hopefully it should be in by the end of this week? haha</p>
<p>yep, i’m waiting on it too</p>
<p>Same here. :-/</p>
<p>Same. Keeping my fingers crossed that they give me a good FA package, or else I’m stuck at elsewhere… :(</p>
<p>ssame…hopefully it comes today.</p>
<p>how are we supposed to find out…mail, email?</p>
<p>Just picked up the mail… nothing.</p>
<p>Someone told me they called the admissions office and they told her they would mail them and put them online today. If it’s not today, I seriously think I will go crazy. I checked online at school this morning and then I realized that it was only 9am in California, lol.</p>
<p>I think the FA packages are supposed to come out by the 8th/9th. I’m anxiously waiting too D:</p>
<p>^ some people have got their financial aid though.</p>
<p>i am completely dependent on financial aid. :(</p>
<p>My friend already received his FA package (4/1). My FA awards have been very consistent-$0 in gift aid for each school. Ouch. I’m hoping USC will at least give some form of FA.</p>
<p>One school requested additional information for me, TWO days before decisions were released for admission. Then, when admission decisions came out most people also saw their fin aid packages. Obviously I didn’t, so I waited till I saw they received my additional information.</p>
<p>Today, I finally get my package. It’s 10,000 out of 53,000. 5500 loans, 5075 in FEDERAL grants. My EFC was about 1300</p>
<p>They said, All University grants were used for applicants who completed their application sooner.</p>
<p>MY APP WAS COMPLETE? I Met all deadlines and the only reason I didn’t find out at the normal time was because they requested more info, and I sent it within two days. I emailed the University. I’m not posting the name, but it’s really frustrating. I’m not exactly seriously considering the school, but it’s still the fact they did that to me. </p>
<p>Haha financial aid can be a disaster! I just realized maybe this isn’t a positive story. Hahaha oh well</p>
<p>You’re to receive an email that will tell you that your FA award is available online. And to add to that, my friend received that email at 1:00 AM. </p>
<p>My EFC is a little bit scary…</p>
<p>1 AM Pacific Time? Sorry I need all the details. I’m going crazy without my FA package.</p>
<p>Er…yeah. If you’d like more details, so far three students from my school (as far as I know) have gotten their FA packages, two of whom received merit scholarships.</p>
<p>I thought that FA packages were only posted during office hours but I guess not! The more you know…</p>
<p>they asked me for 4 more forms to submit… family member listing, income expense declaration (parents), business/farm supplement form, and real estate address, value, and debt itemization. why do they keep having me fill so many forms… and our family doesn’t even own a home we told them that yet they’re still requesting the real estate form… this is ridiculously stressful</p>
<p>Well, guess I won’t be attending USC next year… Turned in my parents tax returns yesterday (I know, REALLLYYY late) and I need about 20k in grants to attend (parents are willing to shoulder only 20k so I won’t have any debts to pay when I graduate)… Are you sure there’s no University Grants left? :/</p>
<p>the user was talking about an experience with another school, not USC!</p>
<p>OMG NO, I’m sorrry.</p>
<p>I wasn’t referring to USC. I was talking about another school that I had trouble with.</p>
<p>With that said, people have turned in the Tax Returns, Fafsa, and Profile late and still received 100% of meet. Source: alamemommy from some thread, FAQ for financial aid.</p>
<p>So maybe tomorrow morning I’ll get my package… how about I stay up until 4am eastern ? :)</p>
<p>nahh i’m not that crazy.</p>
