I checked MyFinAid page last night and it says My Gift Aid is $0.00

I got an email on March 27 saying I was ineligible for need-based aid, but that I still might be eligible for merit-based aid. (I am at their 75th percentile LSAT and >75 GPA).

"Gift Aid," according to the website is both merit AND need based. I called financial aid and they didn't answer (probably preparing for ASW).

Do you think this means my merit-aid has been applied and I just didn't get anything?
Who do I ask there? I am going to ASW and meeting with a Fin Aid officer, but they aren't in charge of merit-based scholarships, are they?

Wrong button. But regardless, I would try to talk to someone in admissions first.
