financial aid requests...

<p>I'm waiting for my decision as an RD applicant because I was deferred in the ED I round. However, about a couple of weeks ago, Swarthmore sent me some paperwork indicating documents they still needed in order to formulate my financial aid package. A couple of days ago I received an additional yet similar request because apparently we forgot one of the documents. I hate to jump to conclusions, but does this mean that I have been accepted? I mean, would the school be making a financial aid package for me if I wasn't getting in?</p>

<p>Hmmmmm...I'm not trying to raise any hopes here...but uhhh I didn't turn in my tax returns for Swat, and they sent me a fin aid request postmarked March 7.</p>

<p>I ended up getting an early write a week after....</p>

<p>So...perhaps it might be a sign? It could also just be a coincidence.</p>

<p>Anyway...that is all. </p>

<p>I got my early write like a week after my financial aid request too... I think it's a good sign.</p>

<p>I was accepted EDI i also got the same reminder as you about financial aid (mines much later)</p>

<p>ill keep my fingers crossed :)</p>

<p>Maybe you didn't receive a letter because your financial aid file was complete. Was it? What would really negate this trend is if someone got a letter about financial aid and then got rejected. So far no one's come forward with that story.</p>

<p>To the OP I also got a fin aid missing docs request and then an Early Write a few weeks later. I can't say for sure, but I can't see why the school would be worrying about your financial aid so late into the year and if they had rejected you. But of course I don't know.</p>
