<p>Should I have any kind of letter or anything in that folder marked "financial aid"? I just have that booklet. </p>
<p>Or should I look online somewhere? </p>
<p>Columbia's materials once more provide sparse information... yet I still love them.</p>
<p>You should have received a green finaid package with 3 finaid letters. One which congratulates you, one which gives you your estimated aid and one which you have to send back to them. In case you haven't, you can look it up online. Go to that application tracking site.</p>
<p>Ah, found it online. Not sure why it wasn't in that folder. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Probably because you didn't show up in the database, whatever that means. I had the same problem, and when I called, that was the reason my financial aid advisor gave me.</p>
