<p>So i checked my email today and I got a financial aid award but I still have not been admitted yet and my app has not even been reviewed... Does the UW send financial aid offers to students even though they have not yet been admitted??? Im really confused... Can someone please clarify???</p>
<p>That seems very odd… I really have no idea why they would send you financial aid awards without an acceptance… Did you call them?</p>
<p>No i didn’t call them. Im just going to wait it out… Don’t you usually get a financial aid award after you have been admitted???</p>
<p>ESP, you should call them tomorrow. It’s probably better to get that stuff sorted out earlier than later.</p>
<p>grats dude i think you got in, 2 friends of mine got fin aid emails and then their packets 2-3 days later in the email!! check to see if your transcript loads so people stop going ape *****. cuz if yours loaded but you got an email today that would mean all these people with status changes probably got denied :(</p>
<p>My app hasn’t even been reviewed yet so my transcript won’t load… but i really dont know why they would send me financial aid award if i have not been admitted YET. Also seattlestudent did your friends transcipt load when they got finacnial aid award cuz my app has been in RECIEVED status for over 2 months… its killing me T_T</p>
<p>yeah my friend has his status change on the 23 with an UOT load.</p>
<p>I think I got in because you can’t get Financial aid if you haven’t been accepted according to this email i recieved from the UW fin aid office.</p>
<p>We have received your financial aid application for the 2009-10 year. If you are a continuing student or are admitted to the UW, and are eligible for aid, we will send you an award letter and information about processing aid.</p>
<p>this give me hope :)</p>
<p>^^Sorry to burst your bubble, but if that’s a quote from the email, I wouldn’t think that’s a for sure acceptance…it says “IF you are a continuing student or are admitted to the UW, and are eligible for aid, we will send you an award letter…” I would read that as, “THis is sent to everyone who applies and, if you “become” admitted, we will give you an award.” Sorry to burst your bubble but if the actual email is different, I would call. I am sure they won’t mind.</p>
<p>Hmm, UW didn’t send me a single email as an instate applicant, and I have both Acceptance and Welcome packets. In addition none of my friends instate have received any email from UW.</p>
<p>yeah… i think i’m gona give them a call</p>
<p>aldo that quote was directly copied/pasted from the actual email.</p>
<p>^^Yeah…from that email I’d assume that they sent to everyone who submitted a finaid app…</p>
<p>But, if you’ve called already, what did you learn?</p>
