<p>glamour,
It’s great that you’re taking an interest so early, it will pay off! You’re new on CC and I have a couple of suggestions for finding information:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Make good use of the Search function and take a look a the few most recent pages of threads on the forums you’re interested in. Much of what you ask are FAQs and can be answered in this manner.</p></li>
<li><p>When you have questions that cover a range of subjects, start separate threads under the appropriate forum (eg. FA & Scholarships, Essays, etc.).</p></li>
</ol>

<p>A couple of quick answers to your questions.</p>

<p>Schools vary in whether they send decisions by email, snail mail or both, and they may vary on whether it’s a rejection or acceptance. When you start applying, each school will supply pertinent information on their website. The same with scholarships, the information will be on college websites and if it isn’t clear, you give them a call.</p>

<p>For FAFSA information, I recommend finaid.org.</p>

<p>Admissions applications and FAFSA are really two pretty separate processes, again, college websites tell you exactly what they want and how to submit it on their websites.</p>
