Have you received your acceptance package?

<p>I have been so happy since I was accepted by Caltech (it’s my dream school!). But I have not yet received my acceptance package so far in my mailbox. It is normal or my package got lost?</p>

2

<p>No acceptance packages. Most of everything is going to be done electronically. You will receive something about housing etc. later but do not expect any large envelopes etc. at this time.</p>

<p>We also have not received our financial aid package. Is anyone else still waiting? I know some of the admitted students got theirs right away.</p>

<p>I’ve called financial aid and was told it would be teh next week, then the next week, then today was told it could be one or two weeks and she couldn’t say when.</p>

<p>We’re obviously looking at offers from other schools and this is surprising. I thought they got incoming frosh their financial aid offers soon after admission.</p>

<p>Anyone else still waiting?</p>

</p>

<p>they don’t send paper materials.
Financial Aid documents are sent via password-protected emails(PDF documents).</p>

<p>seems everything is electronic. :D</p>

<p>Same case here. I have accepted the offer online, but have yet to receive any form of notification from caltech. Hope to receive their reply soon!</p>

<p>It’s the electronic offer we have not even received yet. My son received his admission notice on 3/15 I think it was, and despite two calls to financial aid since then (promising “within a week” each time), we were told yesterday that it could be a week, it could be two, they really couldn’t say.</p>

<p>I think we need to talk to someone with a little more authority, because I believe all the 2014 admissions have received their financial aid offer by now, is that right?</p>

<p>I would talk to admissions and see if they can help you out. My experience in dealing with FinAid hasn’t been great. It took them two weeks to reply to an e-mail containing a simple question. Maybe admissions can work some magic for you to get them to respond, I don’t know.</p>

<p>I am still waiting on my financial aid decision and I have no idea when it will arrive…</p>

</p>

<p>same here. I’ve replied twice in case something gets wrong, but still, no notifications of any kind come. </p>

<p>I think we won’t get any confirmations or notifications until May 1, when everyone has decided which school to attend. :(</p>

<p>@dawncoming: I hope they reply soon! If not, i kinda feel uncertain whether they have received the reply, and i’ve also replied twice! XD</p>

<p>If any of you guys are wondering, I got a letter in the mail that says “I am delighted you have decided to join Caltech’s Class of 2014…” I also replied twice, and received two identical letters in the mail ><</p>

13

<p>I got it too, about two weeks ago, but if i’m not wrong, there’s a small typo error in the first line. :P</p>

14

<p>lol it doesn’t say “decided to join” just “decided join”</p>

15

<p>Wow I never noticed the typo… I just corrected it myself O_o</p>

16

<p>I replied last Sunday(4/24).
I have not recieved any confirmationmail.
Will I recieve it tomorrow?
I’d like to make sure that Caltech recieved my decision…</p>

<p>Did everybody get an e-mail about Sinior Talk regardless of your reply?</p>
