It seems like their merit based scholarships are separate than the need based.studyingeveryday wrote:How bad is it if I'm only filling out my CSS today? (i did my fafsa months ago) do i have any chances of scholly?

In other news -- did anyone else apply for the Hyundai Kia scholarship at Berkeley with their initial app? I haven't been able to find much info about the scholarship online and was wondering we can expect to hear back. Thoughts?

Do I have to fill out the CSS Profile before getting accepted? I saw something on here about someone worried that filling it out late would mean less scholarship chances. I have already done it but only have Duke listed because that's the only school that has accepted me so far. I applied mid January and I don't want to pay a bunch of money for the CSS Profile when I don't know if I will get in....

I write to inform you that the Admission Committee has decided to include your application in a small group that is being held for further consideration. We anticipate that a final decision will be available on or about February 24.
Thank you for your patience.

They did their podcast with Troy at Cal State lol.proteinshake wrote:that's pretty awesome! that book is actually on my book list as well.

ack I realized I added the additional schools to my FAFSA but didn't actually submit until they kindly reminded me a week later. Hopefully it doesn't impact any merit scholarship award notifications since those start soon, and I'm sure all the FR people are applying now too so I'll get lost in the mix

I'm pretty sure the FAFSA is only used for need-based aid (i.e. loans), not for merit scholarships. So you should be good!Keilz wrote:ack I realized I added the additional schools to my FAFSA but didn't actually submit until they kindly reminded me a week later.

Does Berkeley send an admitted package? If so, how long does it take to receive one?

Yep they send one! I got mine pretty quickly, about 4-5 days after the acceptance email (I also live on the East Coast).Litt1tUp wrote:Does Berkeley send an admitted package? If so, how long does it take to receive one?

In via email this morning. Submitted 1/2, Under Review 1/30. Floored especially because I was not offered a fee waiver.

For those waiting, stay strong! This cycle aint acting right.
For those admitted and wondering.
Merit Aid Will begin rolling out on or about Feb. 15th
Fin Aid does not allow loan advances, in case you needed help with moving
