Accepted EA. But no financial aid offer yet. Should we be worried?

Paying for College

<p>S was accepted EA in Dec. We had submitted the FAFSA, CSS and copies of tax returns in Jan/Feb. Later the school asked for additional documentation which we submitted in early march. Still no financial aid package though. Should we call them and inquire or just wait?</p>

<p>Call and ask. You might want to go over to the forum here for your specific college and see if anyone has gotten awards yet. You might find posts from others in your situation.</p>

<p>I would inquire … though i could never take the risk and apply EA anywhere in case the FA isn’t enough.</p>

<p>how is EA a risk?</p>

5

<p>This is UMich. I guess most people already got their packages. Will call.</p>

<p>EA would not be a risk. Only a couple of colleges have SCEA. ED could be considered a risk.</p>

<p>Needed more info about your travels, so I checked some of your earlier posts. Looks like your son got a pretty sweet deal to UT-Austin. I would guess there’s no way UMich is going to come even close.</p>

<p>S is offered 34K in grants & scholarships (He is OOS and EFC is 0). I am impressed.</p>

<p>He is VERY fortunate … congratulations! UM is very stingy with OOS aid. He must be a very top student.</p>
