@diver575 i live in upstate New York also and have yet to receive anything
How do you make an account without an AU ID number?
I found it on a previous email
My S got on the portal but still no letter in the mail today in Massachusetts.
What’s the website for the portal? I haven’t been able to log in ever since the portal was shut down. Before it was shut down I was able to see my financial aid
I live in MA, got acceptance today!!
3.67 UW, 32 ACT
Got the Dean’s Scholarship for $10k per year
Good luck everyone!
A little annoyed that they seem to have mailed rejections AFTER acceptances.
were acceptances mailed as priority mail?
Waitlisted with 3.9 UW and 4.8W, 2250 SAT, lots of leadership and awards. Might be the “Tufts Syndrome” but who knows?? I’m a little worried it had to do with signing into the portal glitch. We were able to create an account and saw a Presidential scholarship. I hope they didn’t take away the acceptance for doing that.
Spring acceptance with Mentorship program in the fall? American University Tumblr says “once these students matriculate for the spring, then we are able to award financial aid to these students if they submit the required applications”.
I’ve already submitted all of the required applications for fin aid and admission in the fall. Are there more required applications for financial aid? Why doesn’t AU make Spring fin aid determination now so I can make an informed decision? I need financial aid to go there. Seems to me that AU’s definition of “demonstrated interest” is willingness to pay full cost and giving up all of our other alternatives. Sometimes the admissions department comments on these threads. I’d like to know what they have to say.
Waitlisted and laughing. 2100 SAT, accepted to much better schools. Waitlisted from top 20 schools and now American.
If you don’t have any mail yet here’s how to check your decision and financial aid early. Find an old AU email with your AU id, and create an account with it. Then you’ll want to log in, hover over the “finances” section, and then click on financial aid. Then go over to the right sidebar, and click on “Financial Aid Award Letter”. A box will pop up and ask you to enter the financial aid year and click on 2016-2017 FA. If all of this works you’re in, and that’s how much you get.
@horchataman so if im able to make a portal but when i click on my financial reward it says the info isnt available, am i probably rejected?
No idea, did you make sure to change it to “2016-2017” and not another year? If it’s there you’re definitely in, but if it isn’t it might just not be up yet (or you might be wait listed).
@whizmom, seriously? You logged into the portal a few weeks ago and saw the scholarship info and know you are waitlisted? That makes me feel really bad for you. Also very worried for us.
I was able to create an account on the prospective student portal but when i tried to create one on the regular student portal it said there was a problem with my au id number given to me
so if you cannot log into the portal for new students, does this mean you did not get in?
1420 CR/M, 4.0, good EC’s, letter, essay… Waitlisted.
@whizmom did you tour/demonstrate interest? I’m surprised they’d reject/waitlist some of these high stats.
Has anyone on the west coast received a letter yet?
