Financial aid status for accepted applicants

<p>Can you share the details of your NU offer? We have not received anything yet and very worried. Thank you.</p>

<p>AHH I'm so frustrated! My finaid status still shows the "inquiry access denied." Does anyone know what this means? I will probably call soon....hopefully there isn't any problem because i really need aid. But if anyone has any tips, that would be much appreciated. :)</p>

<p>hasn't changed for me neither</p>

<p>Still inquiry access denied. :(</p>

<p>I had expected it to be up by today since snail-mail notifications were sent out yesterday.</p>

<p>same here. on caesar it also says i don't have a northwestern e-mail address but i made one yesterday. it probably doesn't mean anything but maybe caesar takes a long time to update?</p>

<p>I've been checkin caesar everyday for the past two weeks!!!! I was admitted under "Early Decision," so I HOPE they're not giving away all of the "good" packages to regular decision candidates and give "ED" whatever aid is "left over"!!!!!</p>

<p>ughh mine still says inquiry access denied!!
does it have to do with the IDOC? because i made my parents submit that today.</p>

<p>You should call them about it and ask. They're really nice.</p>

<p>Status changed... to "Information unavailable. Contact your Financial Aid Office." :(</p>

<p>I have the same message...ok, this is really freaking me out now. Their office is closed now too, gahhh! >_<</p>

<p>It might not be bad. I called them and it wasn't a big deal for me, and it might be the same for you.</p>

<p>When I called, he said that he saw no reason for it to say that, that an award had been issued and was currently being proofread for errors before being sent out, etc., and it was probably just there because it was taking awhile. From the way he phrased it, I would guess that the site is programmed to display that message if x days go by with no update to the financial aid status.</p>

<p>Probably call to make sure, though.</p>

<p>I had that message this morning, and I got my award tonight! Quite a good one too.</p>

<p>With an EFC of 8k, I got full aid for the leftover 44k. A 36k grant (I was shocked! I heard Northwestern's Financial Aid Office is really stingy, and I'm one of their lower students in terms of stats and how many schools in Africa I set up for starving children), 2k in work study, and 6k in subsidized loans. </p>

<p>So yeah, this was my best financial aid package and northwestern is the best school of all the ones I've been admitted too. I still don't get how with my relatively weak record I got in AND got an awesome financial aid package. I guess financial aid is probably merit blind or something.</p>

<p>I just called right now and they said they have received everything but have not finished my "financial aid package" yet and that I should call some time next week to make sure that they're "progressing on it."</p>

<p>I was "early decision"......IS THIS NORMAL FOR THEM TO TAKE THIS LONG?????</p>

<p>I1uRveC0ke, are u under "early decision" or "regular admission"??</p>

<p>getting same message under regular decision.</p>
