Financial aid??

<p>Congratulations to everyone that got in!!!</p>

<p>Has anyone received their financial aid package yet?? When do we get it???</p>

<p>You see it on Axess when it’s ready. If it comes separate from the main admissions mailing, then there may be an indication of when to expect it.</p>

<p>Do you think we’ll get admit packets today?</p>

<p>i thought they came out today… i’ve gotten emails from other colleges about aid awards…</p>

<p>I would think they’d come with the admit packets (snail mail), but I haven’t gotten mine yet (didn’t come today). Has anyone gotten theirs?</p>

<p>No I haven’t got mine either and I’m not seeing anything on axess :(</p>

<p>I got mine, I’m in CA though, that’s probably why. They said they would send the FA separately in about a week. Also, they said you could check it on Axess when it’s ready but it’s not working for me right now.</p>

<p>Last year, S’s FA showed up on Access within a couple of days of email admissions. Paper FA came with paper acceptance packet about a week after email. Even though he was admitted SCEA, he got another admission packet with final FA info at the same time as as RDers.</p>

<p>Congratulations to all who have been admitted!</p>

<p>It’s on Axess…</p>

<p>my FA package, while good, was still markedly lower than the package i received from Yale. Is it true that stanford “matches” any aid offer from a comparable institution? Thanks.</p>

<p>Stanford’s policy:</p>

<p>My Axess didn’t work last night, but it works fine now.
I must say… I am a bit sad about my financial aid package…
With Stanford, I will have to pay $5,000, but I’d rather graduate debt-free at Caltech.
I know that Stanford will match another college, but Caltech’s total cost is about 3,000 less than Stanford’s…
So even if I get them to increase my package, I will still have to pay.
This was the last factor in deciding between Caltech and Stanford, so unless I somehow get everything payed for at Stanford, I’ll be going to Caltech. :/</p>

<p>when i sign in to axess, it takes me to the “employee-facing registry content” site and i can’t find anything about financial aid…
am i in the right place? or is it just that my axess does not work yet?</p>

<p>just got mine! thanks guys!!</p>

<p>sad that you have to pay $5,000 at a school that costs $50k?!</p>
