Is this a good sign...

<p>or am I reading too much into it?
I received a generic email from the financial aid office telling us to send in the 2009 taxes. I assume this is an automatic thing.</p>

<p>However, they also personally called my house. This makes me think that they are working on my financial aid package. Why would they work on a financial aid package of someone who is not admitted?
What do you think?</p>

<p>i got the same! phone call & email and such. i hope it’s a good sign. it really sounds like it is, but idk.</p>

<p>I also received the email and call.</p>

<p>ditto for me.
my mom said the guy who called was really annoying haha. Apparently he kept going on and on about deadlines. </p>

<p>clinegirl, your logic is good. I think its a good sign.</p>

<p>I got a automated call and my D was semifinalist for emory scholars. I think its a VERY good sign :)</p>

<p>yeah my call was automatic too^^.
omg i hope so!! wee!!</p>

<p>Oh good! Right after I posted this, my dad (who actually answered the phone) said it was automated. My mom had told me it was a personal phone call, so I am glad that even if it was automated it is still a good sign! Thanks!
YAY!</p>

<p>The financial aid application goes to a separate office than the admission application. They figure out everyone’s aid. I hope you get in, but this isn’t evidence.</p>

<p>r u sure they’d waste time figuring out the finaid of even the 75% of applicants who get rejected?</p>

<p>they’re not figuring out aid necessarily I guess. Just taking inventory to see if your forms are in</p>

<p>that makes sense too. haha.
well who knows. we’ll see.</p>

<p>this happened to me last year.</p>

<p>i was accepted</p>

<p>I received an email, and also an automated call. Could anyone say whether there are people that receive these calls every year and are not accepted? It would clear this up. Personally, I dont think this means anything. However, as I was filling out the stuff for Emory Financial Aid, I got the automated call and knew what they were saying so I hung up. Did they say anything like they were putting together your package?</p>

<p>An automated call can be sent to thousands of houses at the same time. It’s what my school uses to tell us about cancellations. I wouldn’t look too much into it.</p>

<p>I only remember receiving an email, but my house probably got a call and let it ring thinking it was a telemarketer haha.</p>

<p>I assumed they sent the call to all students. I was impressed, though, that they bothered to mention it because no other college made such a call.</p>
