<p>I recieved a financial aid letter requesting some things dated March 3. Decision notification began 2 weeks ago, so should i be worried that im recieve this letter so late? could it be good news, because theres still interest in me?</p>
<p>admissions and FA are allegedly seperate entities. That means FA shouldn't know your academic profile and admissions shouldn't know your financial standing, so I wouldn't read into it too much. Unless your last name is Coors, Rockafeller, Kennedy, etc. in which case admission is slightly easier, especially for Coors- you'd be a 4th gen legacy.</p>
<p>AlanAlan, I received one as well.</p>

<p>haha</p>
<p>I doubt those families would even have to apply for financial aid though...</p>
<p>I applied to CAS and just got a similar letter. Ah, I was just hoping that maube that this late in the game, they only bothered with financial aid for those who are admitted. Why would they calculate 20000 fin aids when only 30% receive admission?</p>
<p>i tend to agree..though i have no idea</p>
<p>i thought the same thing...until my dad told me i was over-analyzing (as usual!) but it makes sense!</p>
<p>yeah exactly jerew. though i didn't get the e-mail from cornell, i got one finaid e-mail from another school and i was jumping up and down after the reading the e-mail thinking "why would they bother about calculating my aid if i'm not getting in?"
But then i saw that so many others had also got that e-mail so...</p>
