<p>I know it's need-blind and the financial aid office has nothing to do with admissions, but do you guys think it means anything that they sent me this letter so late in the game? </p>
<p>It says:</p>
<p>"Although the Admissions Committee is still deliberating, the Financial Aid Office is currently reviewing Class of 2011 documents. We want to ensure that when candidates are selected for admission, we will have sufficient information on file to make a financial aid decision."</p>
<p>I think it's a great sign. There's no way the Financial Aid people would look at you if you weren't nearly accepted.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with Very Happy. It seems likely that you'd be admitted if they were concerned with you documentation a week before the decisions are released.</p>
<p>Wow I really hope you guys are right! lol my mom got worried because it was a "thin envelope"</p>
<p>i got that too! i don't think i've ever been so happy for getting a missing documents letter</p>
<p>ummmm though it does kinda look like a positive sign...</p>
<p>I wouldn't be... celebrating just yet...</p>
<p>you're right.
composure
<em>inward giggle</em>
reminder of reality.</p>
<p>yeah I hope it's true...although I'm still really scared about thursday....</p>
<p>lol reminder of reality. i like that.</p>
<p>I got the same letter... 2 weeks ago... If I got it yesterday, I'd have been happier... but 2 weeks ago... who knows what has happened to my application after that...</p>
<p>Hate to burst the bubbble but a friend of mine got the same letter from Financial Aid last year and was rejected. I understand they operate totally separately. In the event an admission offer is made, FA needs to be ready quickly to respond.</p>
<p>lol it's all good. i am fully ready to accept a rejection :) i am fully thriving off hope!</p>
<p>ah man....my bubble just burst. </p>
<p>alright, guess my rejection/acceptance is still up in the air :)</p>
<p>flyboy: but was your friend's letter received so late? <em>keeps hope alive in this letter ;)</em></p>
<p>I hope you get in...you've got a great attitude!</p>
<p>haha, I guess we just have to wait and see :)</p>
<p>jgonzo.... I don't think it matters, as others have said, the financial aid office and admissions are separate. I was getting stuff from the MIT financial aid office pretty much up until the time I was REJECTED! :(</p>
<p>i hope you get in, but as others have said, i don't think it actually means anything and wouldn't get my hopes up :)</p>
<p>ah sorry chacha that stinks...but yeah i was kind of happy but now just accept that fact that who knows what will happen on the 29th! :)</p>
<p>that's right jgonzo!!
if it were up to me....
we would all get in and then join hands in one big kumbaya!
we can still do the latter half regardless of decision :D</p>
<p>lol that sounds great morango</p>
<p>I just knew I should've slipped a couple of Washington's with my application...that would have guaranteed success!!!!!</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I personally think it's ridiculous for the FA office to do calculations for every individual out there who applies.</p>
<p>IMHO, It's a definitely a sign...but what exactly does it mean?? You'll find out Thursday.</p>
