<p>did anyone get any aid? do they come with the packet or do they send them separately, because in the entire acceptance packet that i got there was not one sentence about financial aid or anything so idk</p>
<p>i'm hoping they send the stuff later and i actually got some because vanderbilt is *<strong><em>ing expensive as *</em></strong></p>
<p>i applied for aid and didn't get anything in my packet either. =/</p>
<p>but people in the other thread said that they got it, so i dont know</p>
<p>^same here. i applied back in January for finaid, so i know i met the deadline.</p>
<p>i'm gonna assume I met the deadlines, being that they didn't send me anything saying otherwise</p>
<p>but they included something about financial aid in my packet, which was confusing to me. it just talked about the different kinds of aid they give. </p>
<p>anyone who got their aid already, did they send the financial aid packets separately!?!? since I live in NJ, that may be why I haven't gotten it yet</p>
<p>I got fin aid in my packet... I would call the fin aid office at Vandy and ask if you r supposed to get something...
My fin aid statement came and it was inside the fin aid brochure (in between the first two pages and it was sticking out...)</p>
<p>i guess I will have to call them... i should definitely be getting aid, since i even got aid from villanova</p>
<p>nevermind, they included something about finances [ie: how much it costs], not financial AID....</p>
<p>this is frustrating, cuz if i got no aid from them i won't be able to go =[</p>
<p>do they give any merit based aid or anything cause i dont think i'm going to get any need based but i might but im talking about both need and non need aid</p>
<p>i am on the cusp of being able to afford it probably, where i just fall outside of need but still could use some merit based aid</p>
<p>i'm gonna call them tomorrow to find out. i have a bad feeling though....</p>
<p>I got 18k in grants and my efc is 34k, so yeah...people -should- get some aid!</p>
<p>I got like 18 k in grants too, which is pretttty sweet.</p>
<p>ok i called and e-mailed...</p>
<p>when i called, the lady said that I had just submitted one of my forms late and I should be hearing in 1-2 weeks.</p>
<p>however, someone e-mailed me back saying that it will be in the mail by tomorrow. </p>
<p>so, if you didn't get your aid package in your acceptance packet, then just call the financial aid office and see whats up.</p>
<p>anyone know anything about $5,000 guaranteed National Merit Scholarship for four years at Vanderbilt?</p>
