<p>My friend was telling me that she got several emails from some of the colleges she applied to, telling her that her financial aid was incomplete. Is this a sign of acceptance? Would a college bother telling you your financial aid is incomplete if they weren't going to accept you?</p>
<p>There are many colleges where the financial aid office works separately from the admissions office. Those missives can also be automatically generated as certain things are added to files for those who checked off the fin aid box on the app. They don’t necessarily have anything to do with the whether or not the student is accepted.</p>
