<p>1. In the ‘Statement’ that you have to agree to (on the Davis financial aid site), it states:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What does the aforementioned statement actually refer to? Like scholarships? I am not sure what exactly they want. Also, by how much will this change your financial aid for the upcoming year?</p>
<p>**2.**What exactly is loan ‘counseling’? On the Davis Financial Aid website, it states that you have to do some sort of counseling if you accept a loan. Would anyone care to explain what that is, and if there’s a way out of it?</p>
<p>3. Since we got to choose our housing, and our meal plan, when will we get to see our final total that we will have to pay for the year? </p>
<p>Thank you for your help!</p>
<p>It would be better to call the financial aid office than to ask people here.</p>
<p>Will do Bmbmasta, but sometimes no one picks up. I also would e-mail them, but they take forever to respond back. I will try to call them again.</p>
<p>Thanks anyway!</p>
<p>Trying calling from 9am to 4pm PST....there is always someone there.</p>
<p>Loan counseling is done online...there are several links on the Financial Aid page that will take you there (though it is moderately confusing). The whole process took me about 1 1/2 hours two months ago...but it would be nice if the directions on the site were a bit less vague. The Fin Aid total cost estimate won't be updated at this point, but it's not hard to calculate your own:</p>
<p>cost of meal plan/housing contract you have chosen
plus other estimated expenses as given on Fin Aid page
minus scholarships, grants, loans, etc.
equals your total cost (roughly)</p>
<p>I'm not totally sure about "unreported assets," though--I would keep calling the Fin Aid office...</p>
<p>Thank you for your help you guys! It is much appreciated. :)</p>
