Alright, so here’s my story. I’m a high school senior, and I signed up for the FAFSA mid to late February, and like an idiot I held off on signing up for TAP until literally just a few minutes ago. Also, even though I signed up for the FAFSA in that time, Stony brook sent me an email saying they didn’t process it until March 2nd, literally A DAY after the priority deadline. I also didn’t get any sort of merit scholarship that most people were getting a few weeks ago, though I still have some hope that I might get one, maybe with the financial aid package. Or something, I’m not sure how that works.
So my question is, am I at risk for not getting financial aid since my fafsa was processed late and I waited till now to fill out and submit the TAP? I haven’t gotten any word on merit scholarships and that LSAMP scholarship that I also applied for, since I’m going into Comp. Sci (I originally declared for Civil Engineering though when I first applied for Stony Brook, though I wanna change my major and I put Comp. Sci on the LSAMP application. I’m not sure if that changes anything). Naturally, I’m quite worried so a response would be appreciated immensely.
