University of Houston: Class of 2011

[Penn263]

It's not a comprehensive finaid notice? i.e. Does it include the COA/loans/etc.?

[LHL]

I don't think it is.  They told me they'd be sending me a letter about the scholarship in the next few days but I haven't even sent them my fafsa.

[Penn263]

I guess this makes sense. I talked with a financial adviser like a week or so ago and they said you have to enroll first before receiving a finaid notice. Sucks. 

[Meliss1086]

That does suck. I didn't realize that.
I've gotten merit aid notices, but I guess I'll have to wait for need-based information.

I will be at UH in the fall unless SMU throws a Hail Mary my way, and even then it would take some serious consideration. 

I filled out my FAFSA in January, was admitted in February, and mailed in my deposit about a month ago, so I would like to think that I am as up-to-date as one can be about financial aid.  I've received my password to log in to their system and check my "To Do List" for financial aid.  I have yet to receive any financial aid award or estimated COA for next year.  If you have any more questions just send me an email.

Looks like there's a good chance this is where I'll be!  What part of Houston is everyone looking to live in??

[hs1046]

There doesn't seem to be too many people going to U of H on here... I wonder why?

[hs1046]

Anyone received there financial aid papers yet?

[Poetgirl80]

Ok, seriously... how in the heck did I get waitlisted with a 3.3 index? I think I'm the only 3.3 who wasn't an auto-admit!

IF I get accepted off the WL and SMU rejects me, I'll be there. (But will live with the parents in suburbia to save money).

I am visiting UH, SMU, and Baylor all within the next week.  I was told to look at Montrose, Midtown, Galleria, Upper Kirby, Medical City, Westheimer locations... there is another thread somewhere on here with a lot fo details about Houston living...
