@sunflowerlover I think they might already complete your admission, and haven’t completed us. Or you have the acceptance and we get deferred.

Huh. So if I’m remembering correctly my financial aid was something else originally requesting for the documents and then it changed to the message everyone else seems to have and just today it changed to this new message. But my admissions status changed to the thank you message a while back (at least I can’t remember when it changed it wasn’t in December I can tell you that much) too.

fk. I have the feeling like when I was watching American Horror Story!

I am freaking out omg what does this mean

@lacollege I assume you have “our records” right?

@Joezzzzz if this isn’t an acceptance/deferred thing my other guess would be that it might be because I submitted my application I guess early but not really? (October 23rd)… I did call them tho on November 1st asking about my financial aid because they hadn’t confirmed they received my FAFSA and I wanted to make sure they got it because it was the deadline and my Dad completed and submitted it literally on October 1st so maybe my weird financial aid message is because we did the financial aid stuff so early and I called to double check?

Does anyone know if this happened in past years??

@lacollege no, i have the " Thank you…"

@sunflowerlover Maybe. If I get deferred, I might just apply ED II to NEU…

@sunflowerlover I did my financial aid October 7th so i don’t think that’s it

Anyone knows the rate of acceptance?

@sunflowerlover yeah I think the fact that you submitted it early might mean something too because I know FAFSA is first come first serve, so if you submitted early you get money faster.

@lacollege i’M SO CONFUSED WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE THE WEIRD MESSAGE D:

@Joezzzzz if I get deferred/denied I’ll probably apply EDll to Syracuse
