<p>OK, maybe I am just imagining things because waiting is so nerve-wracking, but...Occidental's financial aid office called my ex's house yesterday to clarify something from her CSS Profile.</p>
<p>This means she's accepted, right?! Her file wouldn't get passed to the financial aid office otherwise? They can't possibly work through all the financial info for every applicant; it'd be a huge waste of time since so many won't be accepted.</p>
<p>Am I reading too much into this?</p>
<p>I think you might be reading a bit too much into this. You'd be surprised about how much work the financial aid office does. Plus since Oxy is such a small college, I would think that they would compare applicants after having reviewed them individually. Therefore, I feel that a final decision wouldn't be made until around the time that they are supposed to release that information. </p>
<p>It certainly is not a bad sign though :)</p>
<p>I was thinking the same thing when I got an email from Oxy that said the admissions office notified the financial aid department that I didn't say whether or not I want aid. I'm guessing it's a good sign because it said that the admissions office went out of their way to notify them. I could just be too optimistic though.</p>
