@gonewiththeair So I haven’t necessarily been rejected from ppl unless someone from my area divulged that they received an acceptance letter
I also got my acceptance! I got into the Honors Program, and I’m super excited about it! Good luck to everyone still waiting for their decisions!
@radioactiveforks no- everyone will get a letter regardless of their decision. If other people in your area have gotten a letter while you have not, yours may have been lost in the mail!
@HappyFace2018 American is currently my #1 and I saw the same amount of financial aid on my portal. There is no way my family is going to be able to afford that. What was your EFC?
@wilddaffodils I actually thought it was $63,000 until I just checked to confirm. I don’t know where I got that from. It’s actually $40,593! I told the AU officer that and she said “we don’t cover need”. I asked what the purpose of the FAFSA and CSS was. She said “Ma’am we just require the forms for purposes of aid”. Loyola-Chicago is actually $63,812 (which is were I probably picked up the $63,000 amount). When you remove the fluff and consider tuition/room/board, a $25,000 a year scholarship is awesome. The cost of American is all tuition/room/board…very little fluff.
how much is American’s total cost? @HappyFace2018
When do you think I will receive my notification package? i live in MA
@Lana22 My D’s package says $61,111.
My D just shared this AU college niche information with me:
https://colleges.niche.com/american-university/
Scroll to “scholarships”…scary.
So we live in Virginia and my daughter applied to several programs. No letters received as of yet. Does this mean she did not get in to any of the programs? Do they give merit aid to students who are accepted just in to the regular college?
@cuswim Applying for a 3 year program may have been a detriment. Just learned that others from our school who where accepted to 3 year programs received very little to no aid.
Accepted to Politics, Policy, and Public Law and 12,000 scholarship for each year!
Stats: 2100 SAT, 4.2 Weighted GPA
Varsity Soccer, Varsity Track, Competitive Soccer, Quizbowl, Marching Band (section leader), Wind Ensemble, Poet Laureate, TEDx Speaker

Senior Year Course Load: We the People, AP Stat, AP Literature, AP Government, AP Macroeconomics, AP Psychology, Wind Ensemble
Good luck to everyone!
If I did not receive an acceptance letter from the PPL program today does that mean I did not get in?
@briggs23 Not necessarily. As another user noted, it depends on what your geographical location is in relation to AU/efficiency of postal service/weather/all sorts of other factors that contribute to delay. I think its safe to say that you won’t know until you have a letter in your hands, but I’ll leave it to the group to correct me if Im totally wrong.
@briggs23 no, you will get a letter for acceptance and rejection. If they except you they will send you a letter. If they are rejecting you they will still send you a letter.
Thanks so much!! @radioactiveforks :))
I have access again to the myau.american.edu portal! Anyone else?
@ognopgod I still can’t log in
I got accepted into the PPL Scholars program with a 15k scholarship.
I live in CT.
I still can’t either
@ognopgod are there any changes on the portal?
