Appealing Financial Aid Denial

[CorazonDeOro]

Has anyone, specifically a community college student, had to go through the process of appealing a financial aid denial? I was denied all aid (I just need loans) for MCC because I have too many credits (I have a Bachelors) and I have to appeal it decision because I need at least 1000 a year to help with tuition. I know that I have to fill out an appeal but apparently it does not guarantee me anything so I am just wondering if anyone has had to do this and if you had any luck. I was so excited to get in but now I am not sure it is financially an option for me (I already have private loans I am paying on for my first degree so those are not an option anymore, as I cannot defer the ones I already have)

Thanks.

I'm at LCC and have the same problem. Have a BS and am going back for my ADN. You would think they would notice these things, but we are dealing with the federal government here. LCC said it would take about 4 weeks to process the application. Hopefully sooner.
