<p>I received an email about the financial aid process at Villanova today. Has everyone else received this as well, or does this mean something?</p>
<p>My son received one too, language seems pretty universal in “has advised me of your interest”, but seems like odd timing with decisions imminent.</p>
<p>Yea, that’s what I thought. Why today?</p>
<p>I thought the same thing but maybe we’re all just being paranoid about the decisions</p>
<p>My D did as well…I wouldn’t read too much into it as no EA candidate gets rejected outright (like at other schools with EA such as Fordham). At least that’s what we were told earlier this year at one of the briefings. So the universe of EA applications will still be in the mix for financial aid, no matter what. But with EA applications up 25% this year (to over 7,000) according to the NYT, I wonder how well EA deferrals will fare in the regular pool.</p>
