Acceptance

<p>lol yes spelman is my first choice and ive already been accepted there too but i'm starting to have doubts bc it's too close to home. thanks about howard! and i found out thru mail about a week ago. a classmate of mines said they sent him the financial offer like 2 weeks after his acceptance.. :| I have no idea! yea i'm not sure if i'll go to the open house especially if they haven't offered me any money yet lol why didn't you decide to go to howard?</p>

<p>walcott0108... i think u should call HU's financial aid office to see what's the hold up. Maybe you were selected for FAFSA verification so they may have placed a hold on your financial file until you and your parents' 2008 tax returns are submitted. Maybe the package got lost in the mail. Maybe someone in HU's financial aid office got hungry and the only thing around was your package.. lol... but on a serious note, call them asap because May 1 is approaching and you need to know where you stand financially. </p>

<p>i came across this link that said 'financial validation'

i logged in but i couldn't find anything. i might have logged in when the service is not available so u can try it back to see if u get through.</p>

<p>miss_maybespelman... u should wait until Monday and see if anything comes in the mail. if nothing came, call them. oh, try the link above too.</p>

<p>I am going to choose, haven't confirmed as yet, the City College of New York because they offer the major that I'm really interested in (Environmental Engineering), they're engineering program is pretty respected in the ny/nj area, it's in New York, and they have very active clubs that i wanna join in college. Plus, i got into this really cool program.. Macaulay Honors College... it offers a full scholarship, laptop, $7500 study/travel grant, a dedicated adviser, and priority housing & class registration. It would be kinda hard to turn down an offer like that, especially in this economy.
My fc was U Maryland but I'm oos and wasn't offered a lot of money so that ain't gonna happen. Howard was tied for my second choice with City College. If it wasn't for Macaulay i would definitely been in a toss up between Howard & City.</p>

<p>I hope u guys hear back from Howard soon.</p>

<p>Thanks so much. I definetly will call monday. I was going to wait till I got the financial aid information to send the housing application fee but I think ill just send it just in case because the deadline is April 1. I also haven't any financial aid stuff from Hampton. I only got financial aid information from one school that I got into. This sucks. I really want to go to Howard and find out if my parents can afford it.</p>

<p>i need to call on monday also!
i too haven`t received my financial aid awardd!!

i`m hoping that at the open house next friday i can go and speak to someone regarding it</p>

<p>Great to see activity here! Congrats to all. I graduated '80 and '84 (medical school). Go Bisons!</p>

<p>I probably didn't get the transfer scholarship, but I just checked online today and I did get my financial aid reward. Right now I have to pay for school out of pocket now, so any aid is good aid.</p>

<p>I'm so confused right now. I don't understand the verification worksheet. Does anyone know if you have to send those requested documents or do you just have to make corrections on FAFSA.</p>

<p>I AM LEGEND how did you find out about you financial aid award?</p>

<p>Hey does Howard notify you online?</p>

<p>you have to send the verification worksheet and make whatever corrections you need also on FAFSA. howard sent me an email with the verification sheet. i have to return it to them before i can get my financial aid reward. hope that helps!</p>

<p>I understand now. I finally got through to financial aid and I faxed all the documents they needed. Now I have to wait a week or two and see if I actually get that scholarship or any aid. </p>

<p>I'm p-i-s-s-e-d though Howard didn't send me a letter or anything. I found out on Bison web and I didn't know that I could access that until I AM LEGEND said something about it.</p>

<p>i'm sorry you had to go through that. they sent me an email about it like a week ago...i haven't had any problems with howard administration so far lol it's kinda funny with all the rumors i hear, but my experience has been fine :)</p>

<p>Well, I just checked my online status and it says "Inst Acceptance (offer)"! :)</p>

<p>I figure that means I'm accepted but what does the 'Inst' and 'offer' mean?</p>

<p>I've been trying to figure that out myself, but congratulations.</p>

<p>Good Luck and Congratulations!</p>

<p>what EXACTLY does that mean?</p>

<p>does anyone know when housing arrangements will be made for incoming new students. i've been checking BIsonWeb but nothing. I really want to get into the quad, i'm so anxious to know</p>

<p>I come bearing good news transfer students...</p>

<p>In two weeks we'll find out if any one of us recieved the transfer scholarship. The lady in charge e-mailed me back and said that if you've recieved the transfer scholarship you'll recieve a package via Fed Ex.</p>

<p>I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. I want this so bad. It pays full tuition and mandatory fees which is amazing.</p>

<p>Did you get the transfer scholarship or do you know anyone who got it?</p>
