Portal change/financial aid

<p>islove do you mind posting your stats?</p>

<p>I’m not really one to share stats, but my scores (mainly my ACT scores) are a just a little lower than last year’s average and many with the same scores got in. I also have plenty of extracurricular activities, good essays that told my personal story and reflected my personality, and I showed as much interest as I could. I applied to CAS. </p>

<p>It kind of freaks me out that no one else has posted about this change. I used estimates on my FAFSA and a few schools I’ve gotten into have requested additional financial forms, so perhaps that’s why? I’m just hoping this isn’t a bad thing. I guess I’ll have to wait and find out. I’m so nervous!</p>

<p>This is what my BU financial aid page says: </p>

<p>2013/2014 Academic Year</p>

<p>Your application for financial aid is complete.</p>

<p>Additional forms may be requested when your application is reviewed. Once a decision is made on your application for admission, a decision will be made on your financial aid. You will be notified about financial aid by mail and the decision will also be available to you online on the Link.</p>

<p>If you would like additional information or have specific questions about financial aid, we recommend that you visit the Financial Assistance Page or e-mail us.</p>

<p>Does that mean they have not reviewed my financial aid app?</p>

<p>mine says
We have received your application to Boston University for the September 2013 semester. If you would like to change the college or school of application, or if you would like to discuss your application, please call BU Admissions at 617-353-2300 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time to speak with an admissions staff member.</p>

<p>Our records indicate that your application for admission is complete. Admission decisions for September 2013 will be posted by early April.</p>

<p>My financial aid says the same as @twin908…maybe because they received my documents late? </p>

<p>…or didn’t get in…</p>

<p>@whiteout13 that is your application status and not FA status, correct?</p>

<p>Mine said what twin908’s says until yesterday. I also have the same message under admissions status that whiteout13 has.</p>

<p>So if my financial aid stayed the same as twin posted and didn’t change to pending. Does this mean a possible rejection? please help!</p>

<p>Sorry, I am start to worry since BU is my top choice school.</p>

<p>I’ve got the same things that twin’s and whiteout’s say. It does say “You will be notified about financial aid by mail and the decision will also be available to you online on the Link.” so that could be a good thing! By the way, I’m a CFA school of theatre applicant.</p>

<p>A change or no change in portal has nothing to do with your decision. Financial aid office is independent of your decisi</p>

<p>yes that is my application status. my FA status says
2013/2014 Academic Year</p>

<p>Your application for financial aid is complete.</p>

<p>Additional forms may be requested when your application is reviewed. Once a decision is made on your application for admission, a decision will be made on your financial aid. You will be notified about financial aid by mail and the decision will also be available to you online on the Link.</p>

<p>If you would like additional information or have specific questions about financial aid, we recommend that you visit the Financial Assistance Page or e-mail us.</p>

<p>The following 2 document(s) have been RECEIVED by our office.</p>

<p>Does anyone else have the change that I have?</p>

<p>Mine says this:
"2013/2014 Academic Year</p>

<p>Your application is complete. A decision is pending. You will be notified by mail as soon as a decision is made.</p>

<p>The following 2 document(s) have been RECEIVED by our office."</p>

<p>I only turned in my FAFSA, but I have the “2013/2014 Academic Year” so I assume that is the change that is being talked about? What was it before?</p>

<p>Has anyone considered that the portal change only happened for people who applied for FA?</p>

<p>I didn’t, and my portal hasn’t changed.</p>

<p>@Maxyend good point! Me neither!</p>

<p>I didn’t apply for fa and mine changed to 2013\2014</p>

<p>I also didn’t apply for aid and now have 2013/2014.</p>

<p>So does a change in your portal signify an acceptance to BU? I’m so nervous because I’ve been either rejected or waitlisted to every college that I’ve applied to.</p>
