financial aid notification

<p>Anyone have any idea when these come out for early writes or RD people? I got one from Williams this morning (not good) and since Swat is my first choice I'd like to know from them so I don't even bother considering Williams which I probably can't afford anyway. I'd stretch pennies for Swat but now for Williams lol. Anyway, anyone have any idea because I called and sent an email but they haven't gotten back to me yet.</p>

<p>I believe that the financial aid offer comes with the official admissions package, which will soon be in the mail if it is not already.</p>

<p>I already got the official admissions package, so should I expect my fin aid packet when others get their admissions packets?</p>

<p>I think so, but you can always call the financial aid office and ask. I'm sure they will be happy to let you know.</p>

<p>yeah i just got my acceptance packet and finaid offer today, but i was accepted early write. and holy crap! they are willing to pay for 4/5 of my tuition....umm thats like literally twice what yale offered my sister. a swarthmore education for 10,000 a year is not a bad deal....</p>

<p>i got the early write a month ago without any official forms, etc, but got my financial aid packet inside the acceptance folder today. and i definitely agree with robocop, swat wasn't kidding when they said they have generous financial aid. EFC was much lower than amherst's.</p>

<p>sgtpepper, did i speak to you before going to discovery weekend? your username sounds familiar...</p>

<p>I was an early write, and got my finaid info in the mail today.</p>

<p>Let me add this: Swarthmore has offered the most generous financial aid of the five schools whose offers I have received so far.</p>

<p>thanks everyone, I got my official package yesterday but they said i was missing one document so they didn't give me my aid. however, i did send that doc last week (i didn't even know i needed it) so i should get my package this week. i hope it's as good yours were because my williams one was not so good (not that i really wanted to go there anyway) and i really really really love swat. and roamorse, you might have spoken to me before discovery weekend because i did go. maybe i shall see you at ride the tide lol.</p>
