A Likely Sign?

<p>I got an e-mail on Tuesday from the financial aid office asking about missing financial aid information. Don't decisions come out in like...a few days? It's a bit late isn't it?...</p>

<p>And if I was rejected, they wouldn't personally e-mail me right?</p>

<p>Or are they just shodding me?</p>

<p>Anyone have this happen to them?</p>

<p>from what i understand financial aid and admissions are two entirely different offices i dunno if this is an indication of whether you got accepted or not</p>

<p><a href="1">quote=AdmissionsDaniel</a> All Admissions materials go to the Admissions office and are reviewed by the Admissions counselors/committee and they decide Admissions decisions.</p>

<p>(2) All Financial Aid materials go to the Financial Aid office and are processed by the Financial Aid staff. Processed does not mean a financial aid package is created, it just means all the financial aid documentation is stored.</p>

<p>(3) Once Admissions makes their admit decisions (with no sense of a student's financial need) we report to the Financial Aid office those students we have selected for admission.</p>

<p>(4) Financial aid then create financial aid packages for those students selected to be admits and who applied for aid.</p>

<p>(5) Admissions decision letters are run -- financial aid decisions and packages are run ... and both are stuffed in the admit packets.

<p>It refers to JHU but could probably be applied to Chicago. Don't overanalyze it; you'll drive yourself insane. Be glad you're getting decisions over a week before '09 did! :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Yes, please don't get your hopes up. My mom got an e-mail from the MIT Financial Aid office a few days before the decision, got her hopes up, and guess what the decision was?</p>

<p>They're disconnected. It means nothing.</p>

<p>I concur with phuriku, deferred at Chicago EA but they asked for some financial aid thing days earlier.</p>

<p>I got that letter too, but I got mine on Feb. 28. I never thought about it meaning anything, but then again, I got mine a month ago.</p>

<p>What!?!? are you sure?</p>

<p>What you said conflicts with:</p>

<p>“(3) Once Admissions makes their admit decisions (with no sense of a student’s financial need) we report to the Financial Aid office those students we have selected for admission.”</p>

<p>what guo said is sort of a need-blind policy I don’t believe UChicago has such policy(to internationals at least). the Admission Office must consider how much FA you ask and then make decision.</p>

<p>i got that exact letter last year and was accepted.</p>

<p>From what all i have read on these forums, it does not seem to be any indication of your admission decision.</p>
