We received our admissions decisions last night, without mentioning our FA status. Does anyone know when this comes? I mean, even if it is none, they have to tell us that. Thanks
Best to contact the school directly.
For George, I had to create a parent portal account to find out FA. And the parent portal account email and website made me think it was only if I was committing (saying yes to) the acceptance. so maybe double check. Another CC’er I know messaged me about that, or I would’ve never known.
Another acceptance we got, the portal (use dot see if the decision - if accepted/WL/rejected) had the accept info, and on that same info it said to expect soon a package in the mail & that the package (letter?) would have our FA award (if any) info. That acceptance did not give any hint if we got any FA or not.
Our other 2 acceptance arrived also without FA info yet. So you’re not alone. And yes, they have to tell us and they will, fo sure!
Previous years posters have said sometimes it arrives a day or two (maybe even 5 days?) after M10. Hope this help.
Same, @LeeLeeB I didn’t know of this until someone explained it to me.
Some schools send the info right away, and other choose not to. It really depends on which schools you apply to, but definitely think of calling the FA office ASAP.
We got it thanks. We were so naive, we didn’t click on the acceptance letter, because I thought that meant we were accepting the school. It wasn’t until my son talked to his coach that they explained the process. Thanks everyone.
I will say that out of school acceptances, we got all 8 FA results right away. One was Fedexed to arrive M10, and 7 were online tucked away in the admission letter online. About half of them, we had to click things that felt like I might be committing to attending! (like “enrollment contract” or “click here to accept.” So keep poking around. (I warned before that one school the “click here to accept” actually DID take me to a page to start accepting, so of course I backed out. That was our fedex’ed offer.)
Yes, @Calliemomofgirls tucked away in the admission letter. Cate’s acceptance package arrived yesterday, so I could read the letter. Still waiting on Taft.
big oof - Williston package came today and it had so much cool swag I stupidly did not notice the very plain sealed envelop addressed “To the parents of ___.”
After looking at all the swag a bit (and watching my son get excited about it), I re-looked & still did not notice that the plain white envelope! Everything else was so colorful. I never figured something so important would be so plain. Even when later I went to examine the envelope, thought it was a pre-addressed envelope to return some paperwork related to enrollment (the print on the label was so small). Hint to FA/AO Offices: some of us are (ahem) older parents and can’t always find our reading glasses when they seem most needed!
I even stupidly sent a very polite email to the FA Office to enquire (very gently) if there was a another part of their portal I was missing. I now have to send a follow up email that I just mistakenly did not notice their white envelope.
