Should I worry? I emailed the schools financial aid office but they haven't gotten back to me.
Just curious if anyone has experience with this and can help calm my neuroticism with something positive lol I assume it means nothing but just wanted to be sure

That's normal, especially because I'm guessing that's your initial financial aid calculation, while you get the final one closer to the start of school. Stafford loans are the only loans considered part of the "official" financial aid package. Grad PLUS loans are just the government's option for financing the remainder of your education, since you could technically use any private lender to finance the remainder.
