Okay so don’t laugh at me…I applied to UC Berkeley for fun and unexpectedly got in. Since I did not think I would get in at all, I didn’t put them on my FAFSA…I know. It wasn’t my brightest decision. I just received the admission email yesterday and when I checked my financial aid package, it of course said $0, since you know, I was dumb and didn’t add them to my FAFSA. I immediately added UC Berkeley to my FAFSA after learning that I got in, but I’m wondering if it’s too late? Will they amend my financial aid package after they’ve already sent it out, since I just added them to my FAFSA?

PS: I will of course contact UC Berkeley financial aid asap, but it can take awhile to hear back from them so I’m asking on here in case this has happened to anyone else. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP and for listening to one of my many not so great decisions.
