Re: IN @ UC DAVIS!!
I just got an email from the Davis financial aid office letting me know about my "estimated" grant. It's very appealing, but I don't know if I can rely on an estimate too much.
Does anybody know how reliable these estimates are and if they'll give me a "final" amount before I have to make a decision?

Does anyone know if these are academic grants or need-based grants? I've heard some people get 9k while others get 15k, what's the difference between these two groups?

Re: IN @ UC DAVIS!!
From information I gathered on their website, Davis only gives merit based grants to 1% of their class. Granted, I could be pulling this out of my butt, but I think most money is distributed on need and not merit.
As far as the estimation, I would imagine that you would get a definitive amount prior to their deadline of April 15th.

Just got in from a letter postmarked 2/20/09. I think I'm going to actually fill out FASFA and need access despite the fact that I think my chances of getting money are close to zero.

Ugh, tell me about it. I am on them at GULC, UCLA, Vandy, Michigan, Duke and counting. It's only a matter of time until USC, Boalt and Texas add me to their WLs (if I'm lucky). I just hope that I can make it off one. Hopefully my LOCIs will be UNSCHTOPPABLESplitt3r wrote:

Quick Q for those who have gotten in: Did they mail your letter along with an acceptance packet? Also, did it come to your current or permanent address?

Re: IN @ UC DAVIS!!
Once you get in through the status checker, the packet comes a few days later. It's an envelope with information in it, including your acceptance letter. I only gave my permanent address so I don't know where they send it if you designated a temporary/school address.SoftBoiledLife wrote:Quick Q for those who have gotten in: Did they mail your letter along with an acceptance packet?
