<p>I recently recieved a letter postmarked 3/20 from a top LAC about a missing form. Does this mean that I'm still being considered for admission?</p>
<p>I was assuming that the adcoms would tell the finaid their denials to save them work. However, I really have no clue what goes on behind the scenes at these colleges and am growing increasingly anxious as I wait for decisions to arrive.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Wow...I just realized how grammatically awkward the thread title is...sorry.</p>
<p>I think you are probably right about requests mailed in late March -- that would be about the time that there would be pressure to get financial aid awards in for admitted students, and it seems to me that those will be the priority.</p>
<p>I don't think that it is the same for requests mailed earlier on, like mid-February- in that case I think it's more likely to be routine record keeping. </p>
<p>I may be wrong, but I think that the the later in the time line between the initial financial aid deadline and the day when admissions notices go out, the more likely it is to be a good sign.</p>
<p>I got one of those requests, but it was at a need blind school, and I have a last name near the end of the alphabet. Do you still think it's a good sign?</p>
<p>Thanks calmom! I'll keep my fingers crossed...</p>
<p>can any of you post your request? like the exact wordings? </p>
<p>i just got one with:
"We are reviewing applications for financial assistance for the 2007-2008 academic year that have been submitted to this office. In order to complete our analysis of the application that you submitted, we must have additional information and clarification as requested below"</p>
<p>here is another one that I got in mid-feb from MIT:</p>
<p>"Thank you for your interest in MIT. Your application for admission is currently under consideration by the Admissions Committee. We encourage you to submit all of your financial aid materials in a timely manner, in order to expedite the financial aid packaging process should you be offered admission to MIT."</p>
<p>as you can see the second one seems to be alot more uncertain.</p>
<p>Lord,</p>
<p>It would appear that you have been selected for verification from the first school listed and that there is some document missing from the second. My suggestion would be to contact the second to find out what documents you are missing and get them submitted ASAP.</p>
<p>oh i solved the problem with my second school. I was just wondering if the message from the first school seems to suggest anything. </p>
<p>my FA applications are in such a mess that if i am doing this all over again, I would hire an accountant.</p>
<p>bump (10 char)</p>
<p>While I won't claim any special knowledge about the FA process, if I were to bet money I'd say you're at least not denied yet, and most probably accepted. I highly doubt colleges do verification for denied applicants. The applicant will have no incentive to comply once they figure out that they have been rejected.</p>
<p>Many schools do request verification prior to the decision being made but never once a student has been formally denied acceptance into the school.</p>
