Worried about Fin Aid

Keenya, give them a call when you get the chance. You’re in a pretty similar boat as me: not only did NU not receive my parent’s tax forms or mine (even though we have recorded that we sent both in on Feb. 25), but I was originally signed up to do Navy ROTC at NU pending my admittance to NU and passing all my medicals. Well, my eyesight is bad enough that I was disqualified from ROTC and the USNA, but they didn’t bother to let ROTC know. When I checked my financial aid package last week I practically had a full-ride ROTC scholarship to NU.

So we called and them and let them know, they said they’d have to redo the financial aid package and they didn’t make it seem like it was a big problem that the tax forms weren’t in yet. We mailed off copies of the forms and a letter pleading my case. Hopefully for the both of us they haven’t run out of dinero.
