Post subject: Financial aid horror stories?
Archived from groups: soc>college>financial-aid (more info?)

Hello

I'm a reporter doing a story on financial aid for a national magazine,
and I'm writing to see if anybody has been really screwed by the
financial aid process or a particular school. If you'd be willing to
share your story please email me at soon! THANK
YOU!

I've listed some possible examples of what I'm looking for -- but if
other things have happened to you, please let me know!

-- you filed late or your forms got lost and you didn't get aid or
enough aid
-- you got a great aid package your first year only to have it
disappear in a future year
-- your college aid office talked you into taking on WAY too much
debt
-- you applied somwhere early decision, and then found out you
couldn't afford it -- even with aid
-- you worked hard to get an outside scholarship only to find out it
didn't help you, because the college just deducted it from the grants
they were giving you
