<p>"If you do not plan on filing a financial aid application for the 2009-2010 academic year, please notify us in writing so that we may update your record."</p>
<p>I'm not applying for fin. aid. I interpret this to mean send in a written letter to the Financial Aid Department declaring your decision to not apply for financial aid. Do you think this is what means? or maybe just an e-mai? or perhaps I should send it to undergrad admissions office?</p>
<p>I got this email too, and was so excited. Then I realized it was just aid stuff...</p>
<p>I got this email too. They go out to all applicants, right?</p>
<p>I got this to and I didn't apply for financial aid nor do I need it. Should I write back and tell them that I don't want financial aid? I hope this doesn't affect my chances.</p>
<p>How are you supposed to send proof of selective service</p>
<p>Yes, this e-mail goes out to all applicants.</p>
<p>I am simply wondering whether a simple e-mail to <a href="mailto:finaid@mit.edu">finaid@mit.edu</a> would suffice the "written reply" or whether I need to mail in a written letter. And if so, should it be to admissions or fin aid?</p>
<p>It should be to financial aid, and applying or not applying for aid won't affect your chances of admission.</p>
<p>I would personally send a letter, but probably an email would suffice. I'll see if I can get Daniel Barkowitz to pop over here to answer.</p>
<p>Here I am! So the answer here is that we sent this letter to all domestic admissions applicants who we were notified had indicated that they intended to apply for financial aid. If you are no longer interested (or if this was an error), please send us an email at the finaid(at)mit(dot)edu address identifying that you are no longer interested in applying for aid.</p>
<p>Selective Service documentation means you have to show proof of Registration. Go to Selective</a> Service System: Welcome and register there (or check your registration if you believe you have already registered).</p>
<p>I don't remember saying I was going to apply for FA, hmm. Must have been an error. Anyways, thanks a bunch for the answer barkowitz. I did exactly that, as well as mailing in a typed letter, so I guess I am covered.</p>
<p>I never got this e-mail. I sent my financial aid in the same envelope as my admissions stuff, but my tracking doesn't show the financial aid received. Does this mean they already received my financial aid stuff?</p>
<p>Seems to be a lot of weird stuff going on with this. It still hasn't marked my FAFSA and CSS:Profile as having been received when they were sent 2 weeks ago and 2 months ago respectively... I e-mailed them a few days ago and I still haven't gotten any response yet, either.</p>
<p>D got this same e-mail last week and there had never been any intention of her applying for financial aid. Friday FA was called and they said that a response using a "reply" to the e-mail stating that she was not applying for aid was appropriate.</p>
<p>Wait... so do I fax them my financial aid stuff??? I literally sent my financial aid in the same envelope as my admissions stuff (over a month ago, and they received my admissions stuff), but it doesn't appear on my tracker that my financial aid stuff is in. Someone told me that I was supposed to different rooms, but I'm kinda too lazy to re-mail it just to a different room. I thought the admission people would figured it out. So do I fax my stuff in?</p>
<p>Similar stuff is happening with me, ttyl8. I sent my FAFSA nearly 2 weeks ago and my CSS:Profile two months ago, and both are marked as having not been received. E-mailed admissions about it not being marked as having been received, but no reply yet.</p>
<p>If your financial aid stuff isn't marked as received, you should talk to financial aid, not admissions.</p>
<p>So am I supposed to mail in another copy of my financial aid stuff specifically to the financial aid office, or could I assume that it's fine if I sent it to the admissions office instead?</p>
<p>If it were me, I'd mail a copy to the financial aid office -- the two offices are totally separate, and I'm not sure what the mail staff for the admissions office would do with a financial aid application.</p>
<p>But when in doubt, give the financial aid office a call, tell them about your situation, and see what they suggest.</p>
<p>They replied to me that they received it, but it still is marked as not having been received.</p>
