I actually received my final decision yesterday(2 days before intended move in day), and my appeal was denied…twice. When it was denied the first time I sent it back in again for reconsideration, and then was denied again which really sucks
I wouldnt care about the price so much if i could take out a loan but with no cosigner and the inability to take out a loan, I would have to pay the WHOLE BALANCE in TOTAL OUT OF POCKET by this upcoming May…so sadly I withdrew. My financial counselor at the school simply said the school had run out of funds because its so late in the year alreayd. Im kind of angry because I had sent in all my FA stuff a long time ago…and I only got my first decision after the 4th of July. Once I got it I appealed immediately and didnt get my official decision until yesterday So for the school to say that its late in the year and that they ran out of funds such BS!!

Well anyways, I plan to build my credit over the next year so I wont need a co-signer next time. Hopefully the school will accept me again for Fall 2011. I have already started my new application and will be submitting it this September!!
