<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>Does anyone know if FinAid decisions for EA will be mailed soon/released online. My family sent in our stuff well within the deadline, so I was wondering how this worked. Is it mailed once it is decided or are they all mailed at once with the RD decisions?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I believe they’re mailed at the same time RD fin aid decisions are mailed.</p>
<p>is this ok even i sent in my fin aid past the deadline?? I still need to send in IDOC whereas I already sent in FASFA and CSS PROFILE.</p>
<p>If you sent in your application past the deadline, they may not have a package prepared for you by the time other financial aid decisions are released. It’s not a punishment, it’s just that they’re preparing thousands of packages for RD applicants and EA admits, and they started with the people who had their information in first.</p>
<p>It won’t affect your likelihood of getting aid, or the amount of aid you receive, but you may get the offer a little later than others.</p>

<p>“(Admitted students will receive information on their financial aid package and Campus Preview Weekend in the mail next week)”</p>
<p>barkowitz posted on his Twitter a few days ago that EA financial aid offers have been printed out and are going to be mailed.</p>
<p>I just read on MIT’s admissions blog yesterday that ALL (those with completed applications) Financial Aid awards are being mailed out this Wednesday, March 18.</p>
<p>Hmm, well, I was told by a Financial Aid officer that they were mailed out last Friday instead, and seeing as I received mine today…</p>
<p>Great…perhaps because you are in Cambridge? I still “heard” they are being mailed today…I guess a few more days won’t be too painful : )</p>
<p>Yeah, I got home yesterday and my finaid stuff was in my mailbox. A pleasant surprise… until I opened it. I will be in the finaid office during CPW…</p>
<p>So it seems the Boston Area people are getting theirs…wonder if others were even mailed out before today. Sorry about the not so pleasant, pleasant surprise. I think I’m going to also be in for same. Good luck…</p>
<p>I got mine today too, and I live in Ohio.</p>
<p>Got it…New York…</p>
<p>Actually, I live in Lunenburg, MA (which is about an hour away from Cambridge).</p>
<p>Got mine, Northern NJ</p>
