<p>I was accepted Early Action at Fairfield but when I applied I didn't realize that hte PROFILE was due the same day as the application. When I got my acceptance letter though it said that if I hadn't filed financial aid forms I still could by February and I'd recieve my financial aid package at a later date. ANyone know when this date is? Will it be when RD get's their letters?</p>
<p>I already got my package in early February. But, I'm not sure if they send them out as a rolling type process.</p>
<p>Best bet is to just call them. Can't hurt.</p>
<p>Don't feel too bad about missing the deadline for early. It is only an estimate anyway. My son did get his package early. It wasn't bad (and probably better than a lot of schools give) and he really loved Fairfield but it is so much more expensive than other similar schools that have given him more merit/grant money (even schools that are rated as more selective) so it will be a tough call. He will have a much larger loan at Fairfield than other schools(not because they gave him a large loan, but because he'd need it--their cost just went up a few grand), so he'll have to weigh that in his decision of where to go. We can pay what we can pay wherever he goes (which is a good chunk, but still needing grant/loan), so the choice will ultimately be his. The truth is, money aside, I don't think he knows where he wants to go yet...he really loves several schools.</p>
<p>i finally got my financial aid package today...was OK but i've been offered more aid relative to other school's tuitions and less loans and stuff. i don't think i'll be going</p>
<p>Does Fairfield not give merit money unless you applied ED?</p>
<p>fairfield gave me full coverage with only 2k in loans, rest come from need based merit grants for me, but im not going, because they didnt offer me something solid to go off on (annual schollie), so im not takin the risk of payin for potenial loans at fairfield</p>
<p>My concern is the rate at which their costs are rising, combined with already higher-than-peer costs. Why does it cost so much more to feed kids fewer meals in CT than to feed them more meals per week a state or two over? I mean food travels in vehicles...surely they could buy the same food as other colleges that charge so much less for meals. And we know that college food service providers get cheap labor from work-study students.</p>
