Nimesis Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Not to be outdone by the Sanford crowd, anyone who wants to talk about GSPP (housing, financial aid, etc.) can talk about it in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compost&recycle Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Hi there, I feel bad nobody responded to Nimesis' thread yet. So I thought I'll start. Congrats to all GSPP '13ers! I am sure we all went through some serious decision making over the past few weeks (I sure did) and it feels good to finally know and get excited about it. A couple logistical questions: Anyone else from SF who will be commuting to Berkeley on BART or across the bridge? Would be great to get a carpool together.Does anyone know how the health insurance works? Couldn't find much on the GSPP website, would it be the same UCB campus-wide?I will probably see most of you in Math Camp, which is supposed to start August 9.

OnEdge Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty excited too, although after all the stress/excitement of the last few months it seems like a weird lull is setting in. Quicky question about the MyFinAid page--in my GSPP acceptance I was given a scholarship, but on MyFinAid there is nothing listed under the "My Gift Aid," and the "My Net Cost" is the full out of state cost. Is anyone else's GSPP scholarship not reflected on that page? Edited April 26, 2011 by OnEdge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undecided11 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Did anyone get an email confirmation or anything when they accepted their offer? I accepted on Monday night but am worried it didn't go through since I haven't heard anything from admissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimesis Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 From what I understand, scholarships are not indicated on the FinAid page. In fact, you have to self-report it in one of the tabs so that your financial aid award package can be adjusted. I still need to contact Jalilah or someone at GSPP to determine how that self-reporting is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimesis Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I got an email today that was probably sent out to all students who have accepted their offers indicating that they did receive the acceptance. Make sure you fill out the SIR online for the Berkeley graduate division as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
