<p>perhaps its alphabetical by email address? l0l</p>

<p>Is there anyone who still didn’t receive an email?</p>

<p>Me lol are we gettting them tomorrow then?</p>

<p>Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using CC</p>

<p>^me i still havent gotten mine</p>

<p>We still have one week…</p>

<p>I applied to CAS and my last name starts with “w”.
So they might send emails by colleges and then it’s alphabetical ?</p>

<p>I just got mine!</p>

<p>on my portal it says that the decisions come out on the December 12th at 6pm? did you guys really already get your decisions? I applied to M&T and i haven’t heard anything but i wasn’t expecting an email for 165.5 hours</p>

<p>^We’re talking about the email notifying us of the decision date, not the actual decision lol.</p>

<p>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>

<p>If it helps, got it at 4~5pm. On the east coast. Submitted my app literally a minute before it was due - so that gets rid of the sent-by-application-time theory.</p>

<p>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>

<p>ONE WEEK TO GO MY BRETHREN AND SISTREN.</p>

<p>-SEAS/MnT applicant</p>

<p>Hey guys, I know for a fact that I failed to submit one piece of documentation required for financial aid. Since I’m applying for Finaid and i’m an ED applicant, can i assume that if they haven’t contacted me about my missing form, that means that they are not making a financial aid package, thus didn’t get in? </p>

<p>Sorry if this is confusing, just wondering.</p>

<p>go look on your PennPortal on top it should say : School - Name - Financial or Non-financial aid applicant :)</p>

<p>lizmarie - I have your EXACT same issue! I am considered a “financial Aid candidate” (on the Portal), but I know for CERTAIN that I failed to submit one part of the fin aid application. </p>

<p>Does this mean we are for sure not accepted? Because if they accepted us, wouldn’t they need the fin aid documents completed?</p>

<p>@foxtails: someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the Financial Aid office is only contacted after the admissions committee finalizes their decisions. As the final committee was today, I doubt the financial aid office has waded through all the FA candidates’ files.</p>

<p>^Sounds like a job for the Great 45percenter!</p>

<p>Oh I just got the email. They are still sending them out.</p>

<p>I did the same thing, I think you are fine. They only require you to submit your financial aid form on the deadline if you wanted the financial aid package with the decision. Your financial aid might be delayed but it has nothing to do with your decision. My friend did the same thing and submitted a form late, he called admissions and they said not to worry.</p>

<p>i finally got my email at like 6:30 my time.</p>

<p>^So are admissions and fin aid completely detached? As in, even if I’m never contacted for more fin aid documents (having not submitted all the required documentation), I still have a chance of being accepted?</p>

<p>…Or not? If the latter is true, it’d be easier to know now so the blow of rejection doesn’t hurt as much come December 12th. :/</p>

<p>So are emails really just random? How were they sent out last year? Was it all just random or was there a correlation between acceptance and time email was sent? Man, I’m being so paranoid right now :/</p>
