Come on UCLA...make my day!

Meeeee too. Every time I call to ask if they've gotten around to it my mom says, "Are you SURE you need our information? You're 26 years old for god's sake!"

That's interesting... when I filed my FAFSA, it told me that from the information I provided, I qualified as an independent status student, and that I would not need any information from my parents.

That's FAFSA's rule only. Most schools require Need Access which, regardless of being an independent tax filer, uses your parents' income and assets.

Though I'm trying not to get my hopes up

Dean Schwartz sent me my need-based aid decision yesterday and mentioned contacting them about merit-aid to know where I stand. The need-based aid offered was no where near what I require to be persuaded to attend. At what point should I contact admissions (or do I contact Schwartz directly?) to let them know Cornell has already offered twice as much aid? Should I wait for them to release the merit aid decisions? Thanks in advance for any input!

was the cornell aid combined need and merit aid?

I was also disappointed with my the need-based aid, but I'm holding out for merit. I think if need+merit is still disappointing, I would let them know about Cornell.

Based on the amount I would say yes. They didn't specify but it was implied that this was all I would be getting and the rest would be loans. I got just a little over half tuition which given Cornell's COA still leaves me with considerable debt, but I am hoping I can use the offer to persuade UCLA and GULC to give me more aid.

That was what I was thinking. I am still waiting to hear back from other schools so I don't necessarily want to use my only Scholly offer up too early in the game. Has anyone received a merit-based offer yet? The email said they were in the process of awarding them, but they didn't mention when we should expect to hear from them.
