<p>my schools requested 2003 and 2004..</p>
<p>Dude...i got the same one...the exact same one. That cant be a fluke...</p>
<p>Well, that's what the FAO said.</p>
<p>Hmm...i hope the FAO was lying to you lol. Seems to me that if there was more than one it's less likely that it is a fluke and more likely that she lied to preserve or try to preserve the admissions/FA process's secretive qualities.</p>
<p>lazybum - you are wrong.. i got one too. i got two actually.. ill post it for fun. </p>

<p>i talked to my piano teacher.. who used to do admissions for Berkeley Law... and she said that she thinks that if you are getting financial stuff this late, you have been accepted. Colleges have no point in making you send more stuff THIS LATE (in my case) just to reject you and thus make their efforts in contacting you and getting your FA stuff together wasted.</p>
<p>lol then congrats. I dont understand all the specualtion. We find out in 2 days. Usually im the one who worries the most and i have had my share of nervous breakdowns but you are guys are analyzing something that will never have an answer no matter who you ask or how hard you try to convince yourself. please lets just wait and stop trying to scare each other.</p>
<p>i still think im gonna get rejected... but its fun to speculate. and anyways, im on spring break. im bored.</p>
<p>Spring break here too and I'm unbelievably bored.
Oh well, no email for me but I got all of my stuff in.
Who knows....</p>
<p>Hey ya'll</p>
<p>I have a quick question.</p>
<p>I am an international student who indicated on the application that I wanted to be considered for financial aid, but realised that we have to fill out a separate application only last week after the deadline.
Do you think I should go ahead and submit or is it too late. My family's combined income is less than $40,000.
Please help
Shubham</p>
<p>tis not too late.</p>
<p>How should I go about it?
Should I call the Finaid office or wait until the decisions are mailed?</p>
<p>Shubham</p>
<p>call them now... they usually want to include a copy of your financial aid offers with your acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Okay. I think I know what happened with me, rock. What she meant by "error" really means that as of March 21, the people on the list they were emailing had incomplete files -- when the more specific emails were to be sent, I was no longer on that list because my file must have be completely processed by the time of the second email.</p>
<p>lazybum - probably.... someting like that... but then... why the hell would they email 2 days in etween?... thats kinda.. O.O</p>
