<p>If your acceptance letters mention calculating merit aid, does that mean you will get some merit aid? When do we hear about merit aid?</p>
<p>I applied RD and it came with my acceptance packet. If you did EA/ED, it will probably come later on. You might want to call the admissions office just to be safe.</p>
<p>I did RD with the canidate's choice app. Crap I hope I am getting merit aid.</p>
<p>I had just used the common app and got my letter around March 25. It wouldn't surprise me if they held off on the financial aid until they have all the admits in front of them. A phone call is probably your best bet though.</p>
<p>My son got a Merit aid offer in the mail two days ago I think. It was one of the Leadership awards - worth $5000 a semester. We're happy.</p>
<p>My D also got her merit aid about a week ago (applied EA, and was accepted on 10/30).</p>
<p>Hopefully I hear soon. I am so anxious.</p>
