Can someone confirm that its normal that merit aid would not be mentionned in the acceptance letter? My daughter received the acceptance letter and brochure yesterday, but no merit offer
The initial package was only admissions (congratulations!). Financial aid is coming soon. I would assume it could include merit aid, should there be any available, as well as need-based aid.
my letter said that merit would come in 5 days after acceptance letter
Anyone know when LSC decisions come out?
LSC decisions are out. . .
@jamesjunkers they are? Where?
@maustimproved, I got an email that an update was posted to my account (I did not get accepted)
@jamesjunkers found it, thanks (it’s okay, I didn’t either- but that’s what I get for spending 30 minutes on the application )
I got put on the waitlist?
Yeah, I got put on the wait list too, I’m assuming they put all rejects for the program on the wait list because they have no idea how many of the 60ish kids that will matriculate
Any RD accepted students get a merit aid letter yet?
Did anyone get financial aid yet? The website said should call if we haven’t received it within a week, so I thought I’d get it by now.
@alpca97 it’s online! I just figured that out last night. If you set up the sage account it’s on there. I don’t remember the exact steps off the top of my head but it was pretty easy to find. My aid award was great and more generous than expected. I’m really excited!
@Jmbakh How did you set up an account?
If you check application status it has the how to create a community account page. Then just follow those steps. Once you get to the last step and log on financial aid is on the right side and it tells award details
@Jmbakh I made a sage account, but when I click on “view financial aid information” it says there is a system error. I’ll just wait for it to arrive in the mail at this point…
Oh that’s strange. For me it takes me to a new page where I log in with the same info and I can view my aid. It could be that the aid office isn’t done yet. If you submitted everything I’m sure they’ll get back to you soon.
Good point. Thanks so much for your help, @Jmbakh
@alpaca97 anytime also it’s been three days since I’ve gotten the mailed acceptance but still haven’t received aid in snail mail so you aren’t alone there.
Same here @alpaca97, wanted to see if there was a merit award posted and I got the following:
"System Error, contact your IT department for help…
We apologize for the inconvenience. Contact the financial aid office if you still have problems using this application. Thank you for visiting our site.
