<p>Friday MIT announces admissions. Wednesday we got an email from someone in the Financial Aid office saying that the students Schedule C was missing and to please provide it.</p>
<p>If they are inquiring about a missing Schedule C two days before admission announcements, is that a good sign?</p>
<p>I don’t think that the financial aid office has any prior knowledge of who is going to be admitted to the class of 2018. The admissions office and the financial aid office are completely separate entities. </p>
<p>^^ except if the financial aid package is delivered at the same time as the acceptance, then the FA office would need to know now. I have no idea of the MIT process however. </p>
<p>What I read was that the Financial Aid offer would come shortly after the admissions notification. I took that as meaning a number of days. I guess it may mean something and it may not. Just seems weird to provide financial aid docs a day or so before. When it could be for nothing. </p>
<p>If it says shortly after, then it may mean nothing. The FA office could just be tying up loose ends for the big push of accepted names tomorrow. Good luck in either case.</p>
<p>Posts above are correct: the financial aid office doesn’t have any prior knowledge of admissions results. They prepare financial aid packages for everyone who applies for aid.</p>
<p>I would guess you will be accepted. Report back tomorrow!</p>
<p>As per usual, Molliebatmit is completely correct. This means nothing. The financial aid office knows about as much about who the admissions office chose to admit as the registrar’s office, the property office, or the janitorial services office. </p>
<p>He was admitted!</p>
<p>Congrats! </p>
