<p>If you did not file a FAFSA, then you are not getting financial aid, thus you do not have a financial aid package. I already got my financial aid package from Davis (where I attend), and the lack of the aid package from UCLA does not surprise me at all because I did not put UCLA down on my FAFSA list.</p>
<p>I did file FAFSA but only for my CC because i didn’t get accepted to UC yet. But people could’ve expected acceptance and put UCLA and such school as different slots… you don’t get what i am saying?</p>
<p>iumm…
I used to work in a a financial aid office and here is how FAFSA works…
When you file a FAFSA and input the various schools that you are interested in attending, they electronically transmit your info to the schools you chose to put on your form. Then the schools do what’s called a “dump”…every school has their timeframe of when they do a “dump” but it’s usually every couple of days. When they dump the info then they post your award info on a site for you to access…so to answer your question, no, if you did not put UCLA on your FAFSA then they have no financial aid info to post and therefore it makes sense that you cannot see it. </p>
<p>note: UCLAri is correct about the slots, there are no priority slots on the form.</p>
<p>so what, the whole financial aid thing basically means nothing, then?</p>
<p>From what I can tell, it DOES mean something. I’ve seen a definite positive correlation between fin aid packages being posted and admission. I can’t imagine a situation where they’d make a package for you if you weren’t admitted.</p>
<p>so i guess my real question is:</p>
<p>since all i see is ‘no financial aid award available’, am i rejected?</p>
<p>i didnt submit a fafsa, but since there are a LOT of people who get this same message, and its the closest thing i’ve seen to people not being able to see thier financial aid information, are we all rejected?</p>
<p>when did i say slot priority mattered? i simply said i didn’t put UCLA as my second slot. don’t put words in my mouth</p>
<p>if you didn’t file FAFSA or didn’t put UCLA as one of the slots you are not gonna see the Financial Aid info. It doesn’t mean you got accepted or rejected.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No no no no no! Rolling admissions means that it takes time! Like I said, I got my admission early. My girlfriend got hers in May. Don’t worry!</p>
<p>Besides, you didn’t file a FAFSA. That means no fin aid package will be made for you anyway.</p>
<p>that’s what’s strange…they don’t post an actual “award information,” but just what you would get if you’re admitted I guess? they probably just posted the info received electronically from fafsa…</p>

<p>iummmhii,</p>
<p>Calm down. I thought a page back that you were suggesting that the slot mattered because you said:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I just meant to explain that the slot doesn’t matter. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>ckdunton, they havent posted the award because it takes 5-10 days after they received it. According to them, they received in april 18. And if it takes 10 days to process it, it will be by the the time admissions decisions are handed out which is april 26th, its definately something to consider, prolly means ur in.</p>
<p>meh, thanks mojo, but i’m tryin real hard not to get my hopes up. where’d u get that info anyway if you don’t mind my asking?</p>
<p>hehe nevermind, just found it :)</p>
<p>lol, it says it on the page “track financial aid documents” It tells you the date they received it, and it tells you</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>thats why your award doesnt show, because they will put it online around april 26 (when decisions are out)</p>
<p>yeah, just hadn’t yet tried that link. my bad. mucho thanks again.</p>
<p>why don’t someone call admissions and ask “I can see fafsa smack, does that mean I’m in?”</p>
<p>Under the financial award doc tracking, are all the people who submitted fafsa supposed to see something, or only some people?</p>
<p>yeah i was thinking of doing just that lostincode. in fact, im going to do it now.</p>
<p>admissions has nothing to do with financial aid, its a separate office.</p>
<p>But NORMALLY speaking, financial aid will NOT review your stuff if you are NOT accepted.</p>
