<p>im confused too</p>

<p>does ur say spring '11? it looks like i only got aid for spring…</p>

<p>Its giving u 16000 ish as scholarships and grants (Not to be repayed) then 4000 as loan thats why it says you have 20,000 for resources. You still need to cough up $6000</p>

<p>I am really confused.</p>

<p>I am getting around 11k in scholarships and 3k in federal pell grants. They did not list my Cal grant, so does this mean I did not get it yet or it is included in the scholarship number? Also, I am thinking about switching to math (instead of econ) because of the SMART grant and because I want to have the math skills for a masters in econ program or finance program. Alternatively, would it be better to minor in math? And if I do the minor, could I still get the grant? I know at UCLA, their math-econ program qualifies for the grant and I am sure the minor in math with econ major is very similar. Thanks.</p>

<p>My EFC is around 2300-3900 and I got 14318 in gift aid. I am not complaining, but it sucks because EFC is bull$h1t if your parents wont help you.</p>

<p>You guys should to stoked that you are getting any money. I know I would. Some people like myself are expected to come up with $25k (ie THE WHOLE THING)</p>
