OOS applying for financial aid</p>

<p>Honestly really surprised. Looking at the applicants above, my scores are sub-par in comparison. I also have significant financial need, so I thought that would have hurt me for sure.</p>

<p>Still no message for me. :frowning: I think my chance of being accepted is getting smaller and smaller with each minute passing by. :(</p>
