Financial aid for ED?

<p>I don’t know if any of the EDers who were accepted applied for aid, but if so, has anyone gotten a letter yet? It’s been a week since the acceptance letter and it said we’d hear within a week. Probably it’s just a little late, but I was wondering if other people have gotten theirs already.</p>

<p>D has not received hers either Phoebe, I'm sure should be coming this week.</p>

<p>Thanks, GA2012MOM. I'm glad to hear that because I was wondering if I should call them in case something was wrong with mine. I thought it was probably just late, but it's easy to start worrying.</p>

<p>hey both of you please post here when you get any notification... i'm waiting too</p>

<p>Phoebe and sabu, DD received hers today via snail mail.</p>

<p>GA2012MOM, thanks, but what was the postmark date of that piece of mail?? Although I was informed through email, the actual acceptance letter arrived just today! It was postmarked Dec. 7, so it took a good 11 days to reach here.</p>

<p>Sabu, the postmark was 12/14, and the package was even better than we expected!</p>

<p>OK thank you very much... I think I'll send them an email asking my status. And congratulations (to you and your daughter)!</p>

<p>yeah got an email today.....
nice :)</p>

<p>sabu, what did the email say?
i haven't received my finaid notice yet and i'm getting a bit worried</p>

<p>You have to email the financial aid office to get your status by email (I think). The email had two files attached with all the nice details... Some people get their notices earlier than others, I noticed... So they may be processing yours proud08er, don't worry...</p>

<p>proud08er, I got mine yesterday. It was also postmarked on the 14th. I'm sure you'll get yours today. My offer was about what my parents had expected and hoped for. It's still a lot of money for them, but they will find some way to make it work, although I might take out a little in loans to help them. Amherst is a very generous school and they respect people's different financial situations. It's an incredible place and I feel so lucky to get go there.</p>

<p>it didn't come today in the mail so i just emailed the finaid office today. thanks for the updates phoebe and sabu!</p>
