PLease read, MIT financial aid

<p>I was just admitted to MIT, but I did not recieve anything about financial aid, and I need it. I know that if their was a box on the application I would have checked it, but I feel like I am missing something. I haven't supplied any documents regarding my financial standings. How and what should I do? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I haven’t supplied any documents regarding my financial standings. How and what should I do?</p>

<p>Did you apply ED?</p>

<p>How did you expect them to figure out an aid package for you if you didn’t submit the FA forms? Are they supposed to just guess how much your parents earn and how much they have saved???</p>

<p>On each school’s website they have the details about what you’re supposed to submit and the deadlines.</p>

<p>I assume you applied Early Action to MIT. Look at their timeline for application. It looks like only the admission is “early” for Early Action and the finances follow the regular admission schedule</p>

<p>[MIT</a> Admissions: Deadlines](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/deadlines/index.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/deadlines/index.shtml)</p>

<p>Make sure you meet the financial deadlines and you will hear in the spring.</p>

<p>I think MIT is need-blined</p>

<p>If you are international check with the financial aid office for specifics. At most colleges international students are handled differently and may require different forms.</p>

<p>Need blind has nothing to do with your financial aid. Schools that are need blind do NOT consider your financial need when they consider your application for admission. Most schoos are need blind.</p>

<p>MIT is a college that guarantees to MEET FULL NEED. That is the thing that relates to financial aid. If the school computes you have need, they will give you aid to make up the difference between the cost of attendance and your family contribution (by their calculations).</p>

<p>Many folks mix these up. MOST need blind schools do NOT guarantee to meet full need for their admitted students.</p>

<p>Now back to the OP…MIT has Early Action and your financial aid will come at a later date…closer to when the regular decision accepted students receive theirs.</p>
