Financial Aid package - when can i expect to see it?

<p>I’m sorry if this question has been asked before, but as the title says, when can I expect to see my financial aid package?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>I have had a “Review your award” on my My Amherst page for some time, but still it gives me only a list of received documents. I guess the package should be out soon, probably Monday.</p>

<p>Congrats and good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks aimering! I’ve had that link for a while now too, i guess i’ll just have to wait :)</p>

<p>Congrats to you too (i’m guessing you were accepted?)!</p>

<p>“The not-so-virtual “thick” envelope of information we mailed to you on March 25” contains the financial aid package, as it says in your acceptance email. </p>

<p>Congratulations! I’ve heard that Amherst has great financial aid!</p>

<p>yup i did read that, i just read on amherst’s website that there were going to be no paper award letters? but in any case, i guess i’ll know soon enough :slight_smile: i’m an international though, so it’ll take a million years for the letter to reach me if it’s through mail! and thank you! congratulations to you too!</p>

<p>haha same! I’m an international who’s been accepted, but I’m still anxiously awaiting my financial aid award.</p>

<p>To sunnii1004 & vergilfan1,</p>

<p>lol. I’m an international, too. Are you guys likely to confirm the offer?</p>

<p>My son didn’t receive any financial aid info in his snail mail package. I wish something would show up online.</p>

<p>@aimering:
hello! Um, so far I’ve had two offers - one from Reed and one from Amherst. Still waiting on Harvard, Yale and Princeton :S
So I can’t say yet whether I’m likely to go to Amherst…
The make-or-break for me is financial aid.</p>

<p>Nothing in my admission packet about financial aid. I emailed them a few hours ago about my award and there’s nothing yet. My acceptance of this offer hinges on the financial aid offered to me.</p>

<p>aimering: i’m pretty much the same as vergilfan1 actually! waiting on some more decisions and financial aid packages. i do really like amherst though!</p>

<p>and oh so i guess we’ll only be able to see the financial package online… spiritualwitch - when you get a reply, would you be able to let us know what they say?</p>

<p>I just called, two hours ago, and they said it would be online by the end of today’s “business day”. I’m not sure what that means, considering their offices close at 4:30, and it’s not there yet.</p>

<p>I’m assuming they are updating the FA aide page. I tried to get onto my D’s page to see something from this current year, and couldn’t access FA at all.</p>

<p>I’m in the same boat. My top choice is Amherst and now I’m not even my other admissions decisions, but without the financial aid I won’t be able to attend. Actaully, I refuse to get excited until I see the funding. I think I’m going to check tomorrow since the letter said that is when we will have access to MyAmherst as student.</p>

<p>^ yeah… i hope it’s up tomorrow!</p>

<p>Tomorow? Can you tell me in hours?</p>

<p>Nothing yet! I wish they would post them.</p>

<p>same here

<p>You guys checking your emails or mail?</p>

<p>On Amherst’s website, they say that they will no longer be sending financial aid packages through the mail. They say you can check them here:</p>
