Acceptance- dont know about aid

<p>Accepted at a school but not given any financial aid info. It says if you applied for FA that info will be coming in a letter? Do schools accept you without FA if you asked for it ans needed it?</p>

<p>Why don’t you email/call the school to ask? And congratulations!</p>

<p>Yes some schools accept you completely separate from whether the give you FA. I know it’s hard, but just wait. I would not take it as a rejection of FA, just wait and see.</p>

<p>You need to tell us what school it is. Chances are we can tell you how they usually handle things.</p>

<p>FWIW, I’ve never seen a school admit a student without FA and not send that information in the same packet, or at least at the same time. Doesn’t mean it wouldn’t happen, but I’ve never seen it.</p>

<p>If you’re willing to tell us what school it is, we might be able to help.</p>

<p>Last year D got an acceptance email from two schools without FA info. Letters arrived later, one with an excellent FA package, and one stating that she was WL for FA.</p>

<p>alooknac - Can you tell us which schools did that? It would be useful information to have.</p>

<p>The schools I was thinking of all sent notifications by snail mail - they didn’t email or post online, so perhaps that makes a difference. And, as I recall, all except one stated upfront that the kid was either FA waitlisted or FA denied. Only one sent a big “Congratulations!” packet . . . and hid the “but you’re not getting any FA” in small print somewhere at the bottom of the packet.</p>

<p>Sorry I prefer to keep the schools private. But I went back and looked at the printouts and saw no reference whatsoever to FA. However it is possible that I did not print the entire messages. Sometimes if just one line would print on the next page I just don’t print the second page. Though it really doesn’t look like that’s the case. Surely some of this year’s applicants can give more up to date examples.</p>

<p>One of the emails was still in our account and it definitely says nothing about FA, not even that FA info will follow. And that’s the school she is attending due to their generous (and unexpected) FA.</p>
