<p>Did you guys not apply for financial aid or something? Could it have hurt my chances if I did apply for financial aid?</p>
<p>YAY I GOT MINE TODAY. I’m so excited! Been waiting for this for a long time!</p>
<p>Accepted EA. Male from New York.
No rank, about 3.5UW, 30 ACT (31 superscored), 1320 SAT R+M. 3 APs. Lots of extras including 2 unique internships and college course taken in a city college. Visited CC this year and had an interview during an Open House. Good essays, Not so great recs?</p>
<p>Great present for Christmas! Hope you all get in too.
@onthefly, I applied for FA. I got a near full-ride financial aid estimate. Approx 2k in work study and 3k in loans, rest is scholarship/grants!! And I believe CC is need-blind so it shouldnt hurt your chances at all.</p>
<p>As for stats, S had around 2100 for SAT (one sitting). Top 10% of class. NHS, various ECs and academic awards. Visited CC in the summer. No interview. Offered a $7,000 per year merit scholarship, and modest need-based FA. Nice note from an admission counselor about one of his academic interests.</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who has heard, and fingers crossed for the rest.</p>
<p>And to all a good night!</p>

<p>Congratulations everyone! :] I remember how excited I was to receive my acceptance letter last year. Does it still come in that neat tri-folder?</p>
<p>yup all yellow and black and its got that small velcro that holds it in place and inside theres a thin metal bookmark!</p>
<p>Hey guys… I feel so blessed to recieve such an amazing acceptance EARLY ACTION letter from CC. They sent a handwritten note mentioning my essay … they really liked it… On the acceptance letter, it says that most EA decisions will be sent out later… but that I’m in “a select group of outstanding students to recieve early notification” … honestly, my stats are good(2150, 39 IB predicted, 760 and 710 SAT 2s) but not amazing… frankly, I think it was my essay that made them like me a lot! Good luck to all… rooting for you all!</p>
<p>OnTheFly: my son did apply for fin aid (first boy on 07Dad’s list).</p>
