<p>I have a problem with the financial aid award thing curious if anyone else is getting this issue as well.
When i got admitted to irvine, they gave me a Financial Aid Award with all the loans and grants. But after a while i didn't see that we had to turn in the income tax returns so i thought i missed the due date but i didn't because it said it was due on 06/01. however the award they gave me when i got admitted got taken away or something. I called the financial aid office and they said that the award they gave me during the admission was an estimate and based on the FAFSA, and now they're determining it by the tax returns. However all my friends from other UC's still have their award and were able to accept/decline loans/grants. Is anyone else having this issue?</p>
<p>yea same… I heard that we’ll get final thing sometime in July… Thats kinda ■■■■■■■■ since it could be WAY different from their “estimate”… UCI works in strange ways…
I also “missed” the due date for the returns… It says I turned in on 6/2… >.< one day late…</p>
<p>What happens to the people who are unable to attend because the financial aid given is SO different from the preliminary award?</p>
