Finally figured out how to log into the portal (if you guys are trying the Prospective Students Portal [which I did a milion times], THATS THE WRONG ONE! You need to try to log into/ make an account for the actual students page)!
Anyway, I found a page which congratulated me on my acceptance, and I a little over $50K in aid, $40K of it in a grant, the other parts in loans, so I’m pretty excited! I won’t really believe it until I actually receive the package in the mail, though.
I tried making an account and it says
×Sorry, there was a problem! The information you submitted does not match our records. Please make sure that the submitted AU ID matches the one provided in your admission letter, and that you did not mis-type your birth date, social security number, or telephone information. Please try again.

I got in!! This morning I was able to create an AU account and look at my financial aid, so I was pretty sure I’d gotten in. When I got home today, sure enough, there was a huge AU envelope in the mail I’m from the San Francisco area. They offered me around $15k in aid, which really doesn’t cover much by AU standards lol. But hopefully I can be an eagle next year!!
As for stats LOL I’m actually shocked I was accepted. My GPA was a 3.5 W (terrible downward trend lmao with a small trend upwards) and my SAT was 2240. I didn’t have too many ECs, so I think it was my SAT + the passion demonstrated in my essays/recs that saved me.
I’m in Indiana- no letter yesterday so hopefully today. I don’t understand how all of you are making portal accounts because don’t you have to wait until after you’re accepted to get an AU ID? Anyway, good luck everyone.
My D got into Spring 2017, and into the mentoring program for this fall. Haven’t gotten into the portal to see what kind of $$ they’re offering. Still mulling over all options. Not sure if the mentoring program is an honor or not. Confusing!
I called American Help Desk since I couldn’t create an account. He says my acceptance didnt go through’ basically, because my AU ID Number was not working. Oh well, almost certain that means denial
I think the mentoring program does not give you any aid or scholarships. You should check it out on the au website. I believe the cost is close to 30,000.
Son got into the Mentorship program…disappointed. Should we be? No aid and a $30K roll of the dice on whether he will continue into the spring semester? Are students re-evaluated at that time for grants/scholarships?
On first glance, this looks like a conditional acceptance program? Anyone have experience with it?

I think it might mean rejection.
