Financial aid call

<p>I applied ED to W&L. Today I got a call from the office of financial aid. Is this a good thing? Does W&L look at financial aid information only if one is accepted into the university?</p>

<p>What exactly did the financial admissions office ask you when they called?</p>

<p>Just some clarifying questions about the FAFSA forms. Nothing beyond that.</p>

<p>Interesting. I think that is a good sign because it shows they are obviously interested especially because the call came so close to when we find out, next monday. Looks like you are in good shape.</p>

<p>i got a similar call and my mind started racing. i want to go to W&L so bad.
and so called my local post office to get an estimation of when my letter arrives and they said i should recieve the letter on christmas eve or the 26th.</p>

<p>Really? Where are you from? I was under the impression we would hear by the 22nd. I think they send out the letters by the 19th.</p>

<p>I think they sent out letters by the 16th, right after they finished making the decisions. Letters should start arriving any day now!</p>

<p>okay first of all i think that's definitely good because it shows they are interested enough in you to look into that! i applied ED also and I'm going insane waiting on the letter! okay so.. do any of yall happen to know the answers to these questions... they really dont matter but.. yeah haha. okay so first off- WHAT DOES THE LETTER LOOK LIKE. is the acceptance letter big/normal size etc.. i just need to prepare myself! haha. also- mystral, they've already finished making the decisions? how do you know that? I'm not sure, but i was under the impression that they mailed the letters on friday so we'd get them on the 22nd.. not positive though. Lastly- is anyone here a legacy? Because i hear that they call the legacies early if they get rejected to break the news to them over the phone. EVERY time my phone rings my heart literally stops!!! okay that's it. good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>also guys, if yall have facebook (which i'm sure you do), search "washington and lee 2013" under groups- already two people from texas have joined?! what!!!</p>

<p>ttt55 - I'm hoping to play a sport for W&L, so the coach just emailed me saying that the letters were sent on Dec, 16th. It does seem early though, since the technical "notification date" is the 22nd. Anyways, I'm taking his word for it! While obsessively checking my mailbox :)</p>

<p>i got mine today. it came in a small envelope, which was very tricky of them.</p>

<p>okay mystral that sounds pretty legit I'm sure youre right. AH they are coming!!! chipsdw- where do you live if you already got your letter? VA? i live in TX</p>

<p>i live in nj, so pretty close... in comparison to tx anyway.</p>

<p>I got in! So fu<em>c</em>n Happy</p>

<p>AHH!! where do you live?!</p>

<p>Damn, I live in Maine. I'm never going to hear :-(</p>

<p>yeah, I live in Washington state....I'll probably be one of the last people to get my letter haha</p>

<p>Last year we about had a heart attack when ds got a small, fairly thin envelope, but...</p>

<p>It contained not only an acceptance but a full scholarship offer~!~</p>

<p>I live in NY.</p>

<p>Wow, I didn't expect it to come this early, but....ACCEPTED!!!!!! I'd been waiting for the mailman for a few days since we just got a TON of snow, but I just got it all the way out in WA! So excited!!!!</p>
