Can someone explain how it works ? How long do students wait between acceptance and FinAid decisions? Is it totally random ? Some have both decisions at the same time, others 2-3 days after the acceptance notification, others 2 weeks later ? Did someone wait more than 2 weeks and for what news ? I saw on a thread a student who waited for 2 weeks for 0 aid. If the deadline for deposit is June 1st, can we hear back only May 31st ? Thanks in advance to share your experience on this subject.
Hey!
I received my financial aid information about 5 days after being accepted. I was given 15k in need based aid. I’ve heard they can either be stingy or beyond gracious. I am appealing my decision because I cannot afford to pay 40k a year! I’ll update when I hear back.
We finally received the decision notification: 18500. Not bad but we cannot pay 32500 per year. So my son will have to tell them he won’t attend.
