So I got off the waitlist and was admitted for January 2018. On the financial aid award, they give me aid for the spring semester, but charge the total cost of the 2017-2018 school year (fall included). Does this mean i still have to pay the cot of $35K to attend, or do I just ignore that and pay only the amount given for the spring semester? Please respond quickly because this will determine if I attend UC Berkeley (my dream school).
It doesn’t affect your fall financial aid; because when I was looking at the FAQs there’s a question about if it affects our financial aid, the awnser they provided that it doesn’t. Check your FAQs!
@Lifeissohard is right. Your FA/scholarships aren’t affected by you being in the waitlist or being admitted for January. You’d get as much as you would’ve gotten if you were admitted ED or RD.
