ED Notification Day Change?

<p>I just checked up on the application portal that we (all applicants) were given access to, and the area where our application decisions will be posted has changed from something like "Early Decisions applications will be mailed out on December 16th" to "Decisions for Early Decision I will be posted here in mid-December 2012."</p>

<p>Anyone know what "mid december" is? Why would they change this literally 8 days before the decision is supposed to go out? Im stressed over this enough as it is.</p>

<p>I’m not sure but someone else just brought this to my attention and I’m worried!! I HOPE it means earlier that the 16th… Mid-December could be the 15th, too!</p>

<p>I was actually just talking with the admissions rep from my region yesterday! She said that they are finalizing decisions this upcoming week and she didn’t say anything about them being behind schedule…so hopefully you guys have nothing to worry about!
Good luck to everyone who applied!</p>

<p>That’s awesome!! Thanks, corj93! Maybe they changed it because the decisions may come out during the week and not next weekend, then!</p>

<p>Hopefully they come out earlier. The waiting is killing me!</p>

<p>Has anyone had information posted on the Lehigh portal about financial aid? I sent the forms in a long time ago and they never posted that they received it.</p>

<p>Hskater123, did you click on Banner through the Lehigh Portal? You can check financial aid info from there (click on the financial aid tab). If you don’t see anything, you can always call up financial aid. I have to call them all the time to make sure they get my documents.</p>

<p>Best,</p>

<p>Thanks Mike,</p>

<p>Yes, I checked the portal and called the office. They said they received it but it never showed up on the portal. Did anyone else’s information show up on the portal?</p>

<p>The same thing happened to me! I haven’t called or emailed yet, I figured I’d just wait until decision day but now I’m worried I won’t get any fin aid and ill have to pay $55,000 a year!</p>

<p>It’s usually different for admitted students. If you haven’t been officially accepted, they wouldn’t show you your aid package. I’m sure you’ll see it online or in the mail soon.</p>

<p>Financial aid is usually a pain to deal with. In my case, I had to send in so much supplementary information - and by mail too since I don’t have a fax at home. I had to send in my sister’s high school tuition bills and my family’s medical bills just to verify what I put down in the forms.</p>

<p>As soon as you’re accepted to Lehigh, that’s probably the first thing you’ll notice.</p>

<p>Best,</p>

<p>Hopefully very soon… Thanks!</p>

<p>I emailed my Admissions Representative and asked him what it mean when the Lehigh Portal changed from “December 16” to “mid-December” and this was his answer:
“The deadline to hear from us is still the same, mid-December.”</p>

<p>Ugh… So you think it still means the 16th? That’s not helpful!</p>

<p>Yeah I did not understand what he meant with that statement; I didn’t want to e-mail him back because he would probably have gotten annoyed at me. </p>

<p>I’m a little hopeful though because yesterday Vassar sent out their decisions and they said decisions come out mid-December.</p>

<p>I’ll email my admin and see what she says. One sec!</p>

<p>I just want to know if I got in or not!</p>

<p>Same… And it looks as if I emailed just a little bit too late! I think it’s after office hours now. I guess I’ll keep checking 5-10 times a day to see if I got in! :O</p>

<p>I keep refreshing the page. As if it’ll actually change!</p>
