UCLA Transfer student with...late FAFSA

<p>I was lucky enough to get into UCLA but I submitted my FAFSA six days late for a stupid oversight on my own part involving my W-2. Anyway, I am therefore ineligible for any university money but I am exhausting each and every option I can. I am an independent student. I quit my job to go to school full time so my cash flow is nill. I am appealing but from what the FAO tells me I have the same chances as that ill-fated whore at the pearly gates. Has anyone been in my situation or know anyone who has? I am looking for any helpful hints or comments. ANY. Much thanks in advance.</p>
