Am I screwed?

File the financial aid stuff at UConn tonight.



They told me they already have my financial aid application on file (which is strange since I did not have them as one of the schools to receive it on my app.), but it was received after I was accepted (after March 1st). I won’t know anything for another three weeks, when the packages are out.



if you don’t get any aid, can your admission be deferred until next year? If it can, would you be allowed to continue at your current school (only consider this option if you can continue to earn enough credits that will transfer so that you don’t delay your graduation).

I’ll ask this. Fortunately, there are some classes I can still take at my current Uni that would count towards the degree I’m pursuing (engineering).



Taking out large loans isn’t advisable - plus will it be for one semester or is the aid all allocated by school year?



I believe the loans are all allocated by school year. I’m pretty sure that if I do get any awards, they’ll be loans. The COA at Uconn is 21k per year (in-state student here). I don’t feel comfortable taking out that much money for one school year.
