Tomorrow (March 1st) is the deadline for CA students and usually the deadline that most universities tell you to submit it by anyway. I just submitted mine on the web...had to wait for my mother's tax info so that I could finish filling it out. So if you haven't submitted it and need financial aide, you better do it tonight or early tomorrow morning.
My EFC number was estimated (Expected Family Contribution amount that calculate for you online) at a whopping 6236. That's $6,236 that my mother who barely makes any money is expected to pay for my education. I only made $30k last year and can barely afford the rent here in San Diego. How the hell are they supposed to expect my mom who lives 500 miles away from me support me when I'm on my own? Since I'm only 23 I am still considered a dependent.
Has anyone ran into this issue where they didn't receive enough Financial Aide through Grants and Gov't Loans, and had to resort to going to a third party lender for their school money?
