Countdown to RD Decisions (Class of 2018)

<p>Ugh. No scholarship, no travel reimb., and a HUGE EFC, higher than what UNC figured. Grateful to be admitted but this is just way to expensive times 2. Reality sets in (sigh). I want a do-over on college applications. I am so much smarter now on all this :)</p>

<p>Kinda late to the table, but rejected…</p>

<p>if no award information is available, could this mean that the finaid office has not calculated my award yet? We didn’t get tax returns in til the 10th or so </p>

<p>rejected but to be quite honest my heart wasn’t really into it so no disappointment here.
Congrats to everyone who was accepted.</p>

<p>For those who have an empty Esther, I called and they said that I didn’t qualify for any financial aid.</p>

<p>Rejected. :frowning: But, I knew it was a reach school. And I also got great scholarships from other schools, so I don’t feel so bad.</p>

<p>Is Rice’s current aid offer based off 2013 tuition or the presumably still unannounced 2014 tuition (ie the expected family contribution is fixed, so when tuition is announced for 2014, the aid award will go up)? </p>

<p>Will the aid level be automatically adjusted up to account for difference between 2014 and 2013 tuition when the 2014-2015 tuition is announced?</p>

<p>How do you guys see your cost of attendance and EFC? I can’t find it anywhere here.</p>

<p>Never mind. I emailed the FA office and they said that’ll come in the mail. They were surprisingly quick with applying. I got it a few minutes later.</p>

<p>deleted</p>

<p>Just got rice/baylor interview!</p>

<p>I had to drop off something at the financial aid office, and they told me that my financial aid information should be up on the Esther account in about 2 days. The office also said that admissions mail would most likely come earlier, but I’m not sure if that includes the financial aid package as well. (Probably not for me, at least)</p>

<p>Is the financial aid package generally up for everyone now? Just wondering. </p>

<p>@rafanadal did it come by email?</p>

<p>nothing in esther financial aid only scholarship under awards though.</p>

<p>Today I called them because I didn’t have anything under FA, and was told that I didn’t qualify. </p>

<p>I got the Rice/Baylor email too</p>

<p>@davidxavi - yes - email at 4:35 central time </p>

<p>@rani9933 Where do you live? I’m wondering if where someone lives affected whether they got a travel award. Also, did you get a merit scholarship or financial aid?</p>

<p>@encouragingmom we are in AZ. Rice has been very generous to us for which we are very grateful and thankful, hard to say why but a few students at DS’s school got the application fee waiver. Now DS has got this travel reimbursement as well…S doesn’t know of others who got it at his school. DS did get the Trustee scholarship and the Century Scholarship. Need based aid is still not posted, which we are hoping will be minimum.</p>

<p>When do we find out about the merit scholarships?</p>
