<p>Any one know when to expect financial aid?</p>
<p>I would like to know about financial aid as well.</p>
<p>financial aid is sent out mid-April to all those who were accepted regular decision</p>
<p>waitlisted. needless to say i will NOT be an active candidate on the haverford waitlist.</p>
<p>SkeeteRX8, Haverford may have been full up on their fencing team, and may have figured you’d be happier as a sure thing at another school that needs a fencer. Maybe Amherst, or Swarthmore, or Cornell or Yale. Good luck! I’m sure you’ll get into several places where you will really like to be.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. Was not expecting that. I thought I’d get rejected for sure.</p>
<p>Got accepted into Haverford and am going there next year!
Is anyone else going to their admitted students reception in a couple of weeks?</p>
<p>i am! I will be excited to meet you!</p>
