<p>Ok, so I'm applying to 3 schools.</p>
<p>Rutgers
Baruch
Northeastern</p>
<p>Merit based, the first two I believe I'm going to receive most. For Northeastern, if anything, I'll get need based. How does this go?</p>
<p>By February I know if I'm accepted and then if I do FAFSA in January, when will I know how much aid I'll get? Do I know that info before deciding whether to go to the school or not?</p>
<p>Yes, in most cases you receive an admissions/aid offer in March. You have to make your admissions decision by April 1</p>
<p>Ohh...admissions and aid offer is together?</p>
<p>"Yes, in most cases you receive an admissions/aid offer in March. You have to make your admissions decision by April 1"</p>
<p>I thought you had until May 1????</p>
<p>Yip, May 1st.</p>
<p>Some schools send acceptances first and then will send out scholarship offers later. In some cases departmental scholarships, etc may trickle in closer to the deadline.</p>
