<p>I applied early to Yale this year as a financial aid applicant.
If I am fortunate enough to gain admission to Yale, how and when will I be notified of my
financial aid package? Will I have to wait until April to hear back about aid, or can I get an immediate number or at least an estimate as to how much aid Yale is willing to provide? This information would sort of be crucial, because if I am not notified of the aid amount, I would have to apply for regular decision to secure potentially better aid packages.</p>
<p>If you sent in financial aid information with your application, then you’ll get an estimate at the time you are notified of your decision. If not, then I think you need to wait until later in the year. (I’m not sure though).</p>
<p>is there anyone who is absolutely, positively sure about when financial aid applicants are notified of an aid estimate? In April? On December 15? Some time in between?</p>
<p>My understanding is that the aid estimate comes at the same time as the decision.</p>

<p>It is my assumption that if the forms are not submitted by Nov 1st, then you will get your package at a later date.</p>
