Worried about Fin Aid

<p>I submitted my CSS Profile and FAFSA by the deadlines but my parents just sent in copies of their tax forms on firday because they negelcted to do so earlier. Since those weren't in, NU couldn't do my fin aid package. How long will it be before I get my package and will I not get as much money as others. My family and I need as much money as we can get.</p>

<p>Keenya, I would give the finacial aid office a call, just to let them know what happened and make sure they received everything they need. Then you can ask them a few questions about their time frame and get some peace of mind.</p>

<p>Keenya, give them a call when you get the chance. You're in a pretty similar boat as me: not only did NU not receive my parent's tax forms or mine (even though we have recorded that we sent both in on Feb. 25), but I was originally signed up to do Navy ROTC at NU pending my admittance to NU and passing all my medicals. Well, my eyesight is bad enough that I was disqualified from ROTC and the USNA, but they didn't bother to let ROTC know. When I checked my financial aid package last week I practically had a full-ride ROTC scholarship to NU.</p>

<p>So we called and them and let them know, they said they'd have to redo the financial aid package and they didn't make it seem like it was a big problem that the tax forms weren't in yet. We mailed off copies of the forms and a letter pleading my case. Hopefully for the both of us they haven't run out of dinero.</p>
