We’re just about 2 weeks away from our admissions decisions! I figured I would create a group since there is no existing group already. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m super nervous!!
Anyone hear from financial aid office, asking for more info? Just got an email two days ago.
@kibbles I haven’t heard anything about FA as of yet
We got it straightened out (apparently my son’s ssn wasn’t on his application so they weren’t able to match it to a FAFSA or CSS profiled). Just curious. I imagine it was only because they had a specific question.
@kibbles Is Holy Cross your son’s first choice?
He has a lot of places he would love to go…not sure he has a first choice in all honesty; got accepted four places in EA with some merit aid at each so he is in a good place. Excited. Nervous. Happy. Probably like all seniors this month.
I’m nervous and excited to hear back from Holy Cross! Last year’s RD applicants were notified on the 21st. Hopefully it is around that time too so we aren’t kept waiting. I haven’t received any emails from financial aid despite missing documents (problems with IDOC), so I hope that isn’t a bad sign for admission (I did email them explaining that they were late due to certain issues, however).
Hi guys! I received an email from the financial aid office about a week ago regarding a typo I made (oops). I don’t think it’s a bad sign if they don’t contact you (@cakeandtears)–it just means you didn’t screw up your FAFSA like I did! Only a few more days though! Good luck to everyone!
Last year, decisions were e-mailed on Friday, March 21st (as stated above). If they stick with the pattern, there’s a good chance that this year, decisions will be mailed on Friday, March 20th. I’m getting more and more nervous, as the rest of you are!!
Well I know the concensus is that the emails come tomorrow, but looking at the acceptence web site I now have a financial aid section on it, it says I can’t access it, but it seems strange to have it there if I did not get in. What does everyone else see?
@sethbs The financial aid section says the same thing for me. I guess we’ll just have to wait until tomorrow.
is tomorrow a definite for decisions?
@SMarie101 HC Admissions tweeted four hours ago that decisions will be posted soon online.
do you also have a financial aid package section?
sorry, mean a financial aid booklet section
Yes - there is a financial aid booklet section also. And the booklet says ‘congratulations’.
my son also has a booklet with a congratulations - the worksheet doesn’t actually show any financial aid though. Guess it’s likely that this is being added to all applicants…
The worksheet in the booklet looks to be a generic worksheet - it is there so you can put the numbers in yourself. I’m sure that worksheet is not filled out by HC. The other thing is that the financial aid award link implies that something is going to be there. Until tomorrow…
and…then on twitter, someone asked about online notifications, “when is soon?” and the response was April 1! Are they just being funny?
Nah I’m thinking soon is soon. Last year it was Friday the 21st, I’ve heard. You guys think midnight?
