Admissions is closed as of 4:30 so looks like we won’t be getting an email today. Anyone have the chance to call today? Maybe they are going stealth are going to release decisions tomorrow despite the lack of emails
If the financial aid section of your application manager looks the same as it did in April, you did not get in.
If the financial aid section of your application says you are missing an item although you definitely submitted it , you did not get in.
If you did not get an email in the past two weeks from Financial Aid requesting more information, you did not get in.
If one of the above happened to you, congratulations.
Oops, I meant if either your financial aid checklist changed/was updated or you were contacted by financial aid in the past two weeks that means you were accepted.
I can’t discuss anything more.
um…
@Greatcaketaster, LOL okay what is the credibility of this information and could you provide a source? What about the people who did not apply for financial aid and therefore do not have a finaid tab? hmmmmm
^rt
the only thing that will hint at acceptance is A DANG ACCEPTANCE LETTER. nothing else.
That seems to follow what people in past threads have said, though.
Hopefully we’ll all get a decision by tomorrow.
I want to call and ask when we’ll know but I don’t want to annoy anyone. Ugh.
lol I called earlier was told decisions will come out individually by the end of May. idk if the person I spoke to knew what she’s talking and was trying to be cryptic or literally had no clue. Anyone else call/what did the admissions person say?
Thanks @2007BritneySpears. I’m curious about the individual thing. Maybe accepted people are going to know first?
I just tried to call but the office is closed. I may call tomorrow.
I’m so scared. I had some documents that I was missing added today and I’m still missing that document. I applied last year and was waitlisted for transfer, oh man
Or even weirder, they added it to my account but it still says it’s missing on the page as well as that they have it accepted
@tarikd same! There is a document in my financial aid section that is declared missing but I submitted it back in the beginning of April. The financial aid office even confirmed that they received everything from me and said they would let me know if I they needed additional paperwork.
Everyday I have been checking to see if they updated the financial aid tab.
For one of the schools I got into, financial aid completely ignored me until decision day. Both emails went unanswered but a month later, I finally got a response. An hour later I found out that I had been accepted into the school.
For a second school, I was waitlisted but someone from financial aid sent me an email a week before decisions asking about missing documentation.
I’ve been looking at old transfer threads for Dartmouth and seems like if a person’s financial aid tab updated around the time decisions went out, they were accepted.
It definitely seems like the behavior of the financial aid office is based on whether a person is accepted.
It was mentioned, or implied, that a person not needing financial aid won’t have a financial aid tab. I was a student worker in my school’s financial aid office and everyone has a financial aid tab. The reason is because even if a student says they don’t need financial aid, they still have to prove they don’t need it.
Schools make these students send bank statements and other supporting documents verifying that they can afford four years of tuition. These supporting documents are part of their financial aid tab.
Schools do this because they don’t want to accept a student thinking they won’t need aid only to later find out they need full aid.
@someshadeofblue that makes no sense. I committed last year to a top 5 LAC w/o need and didn’t have to submit any documents like that.
Of course, no one really knows! I just wish everyone the best.
Okay, @sighisking339 good job. I was just speaking about my own experience. You happen to have a different one and just because they don’t align doesn’t mean I didn’t make sense. They are just different experiences and I was sharing mine.
Good luck, everyone. I’m done with site. It’s just as toxic as usual and people are rude for no reason.
