Why didn’t you ask about costs before you applied? Would you go to a store and expect to be given the price only while paying at the register?
The Net Price Calculator is something you should have accessed BEFORE applying to any school.

Each university has a NPC on its website. It gives you a pretty good estimate of what you are expected to pay and what you will probably receive. Since you already seem to know that you’ve

never had the option to see how much aid

you would receive, it’s on you as a college level student to seek that information out.

FYI, many of us parents went through this ourselves, and or, have children currently going through the process. We/they find out if they get a scholarship or not. They don’t have a lot of money, so 1-2 students may be the lucky ones. You can’t expect that you should be the only one to receive any funds because you filled out the paperwork.

how it’s fair for students who are already putting in an insane amount of work for scholarships and applications etc. to be flat out disqualified EVEN IF they had the best essay in the whole competition.

My children filled out and continue to fill out lots of applications. If they receive something, we consider them lucky.

If you don’t expect to have the grades to get admitted to SDSU, why did you apply?
