<p>Don’t worry, even for people living in the same area (town/city) , delivery time still varies…
Good luck :)</p>
<p>Here in Tucson, AZ, my girlfriend got her acceptance package and I didn’t get anything. This would usually worry me, since we live mere minutes away. But after checking Bannerweb, I saw that all of my financial aid was processed and there were requirements I had to have for direct loans, which I would assume means I got accepted. I guess we’ll see tomorrow!</p>
<p>Same situation. Not nearly enough aid to consider attending. Difference between efc and actual cost is very large.</p>
<p>Accepted (priority mail, big envelope). Minnesota. Need more info for aid, but I’m not optimistic… Nice “get” though - tough school to get into.</p>
<p>Still nothing in Northern VA although lots of kids in the area have heard. Have to wait a few more days and then if we still don’t have anything they said to call Admissions and they will re-mail.</p>
<p>Does anyone know why the aid was so poor this year? The accepted 765 kids, have one of the largest endowments in the country and yet I haven’t heard a single person say they received a generous FA.</p>
<p>Actually, they admit about 2500 and hope to get 750 to matriculate from that… but it doesn’t answer your question. Better aid = better yield. They’ve been pretty weak.</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are at getting in if I have been waitlisted? On one hand I don’t want to hold out for something that isn’t going to happen, and on the other I don’t want to give up if there is still a good chance I could be admitted.</p>
<p>Do you need FA? most schools don’t offer FA to kids coming of the WL. And I don’t know now deep UR’s WL is…</p>
<p>I don’t need financial aid though. Will they take that into account?</p>
<p>Maybe - although, ifany kids accepted a spot on the WL, they don’t either… good luck!</p>
<p>UR is need blind during admissions, but not so when admitting off the WL. RA, that should help you.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I got accepted, but I haven’t received my financial aid packet yet.
I am slightly worried about how much they will give me.
Does anyone know what the average amount of grants and loans they give out for a middle-class student?</p>
<p>Our financial aide info came in same fed ex envelope. It was basically next to nothing. It was a separate envelope, are you sure you didn’t over look it?</p>
<p>I’m from southern california and my aid was EXTREMELY generous. I received $47,550 in grants and ultimately, I only have to pay off $8,520 in loans. My parents and I are more than happy with the amount of FA we received!</p>
<p>I’m got in and I got good financial aid, but Dartmouth gave me a free tuition, so ultimately I think I’m going to go to Dartmouth. congrats to those who got in, and good luck to those asking for more aid / on the waitlist!</p>
<p>*I… wow that is just embarrassing…haha</p>
<p>@giterdone - I think you are wrong. I am not in the admissions or FA office but I don’t think WL affects their 100% of demonstrated need policy. If you think otherwise, where did you get your information?</p>
