  1. This is my first post here on the forums. I actually researched a great many topics on this site while applying to grad school programs. Here is my story and question: I was accepted into a local art school's MFA program and immediately put on academic probation. I did not receive any information regarding aids/awards/grants/scholarships or fellowships. I let some time pass and eventually inquired to my graduate director at the school if there were other avenues for me to pursue regarding aid from the school to help with the cost of tuition. I was told that because my GPA was low, I would not be offered aid outside of the usual loans. I immediately emailed and called my grad director. When I graduated my BFA program I did so with honors and a GPA over 3.5 I told the director to please update my files. So it turns out the school administration entered my GPA transcript information wrong, so I was never considered for grants/scholarships or fellowships because of the "low GPA." The school is now reviewing my account along with those students who did receive fellowships to determine if I am to get anything. My question is, has this happened to anyone else? Should I be barking and screaming because their mistake will affect my financial ability to attend? Advice and suggestions welcome, looking for insight. Thanks!
