Kyledavid, my FAFSA and CSS Profile were the same submitted to Princeton, MIT, Caltech and Stanford. My experience with Stanford fin aid up to this
point is that they are quite bureaucratic.

You do have a point about the likely admit. I was stone walled for my travel
grant until I told them I was a likely admit (along with financial need). I
will try that with regional officer instead of financial aid.

The reason my post says OOS is that most CA residents that I have come
to know via CC have the same reaction as yours. OOSers have a different story.

Disclaimer : Pure speculation… I believe Stanford has a specific fin aid policy
for way-O-O-S which is differentiated from those who live in closer proximity
to it.
