<p>If an applicant at this late date receives an email requesting some missing information from his or her financial aid application, does this probably mean that the applicant's application has been put in the "accepted" pile?.</p>
<p>It would seem to me that with acceptances coming out in two weeks, there must be some gap of time between when Emory decides who is accepted, and the time they determine financial aid awards, and then, another gap before they issue acceptances.</p>
<p>For example, I doubt they accept you on March 30, then move on to figuring out your financial aid award on March 31, and then tell you that you are accepted on April 1. There are too many applicants to move that fast. So it would seem to me that they already know who has been accepted and who has been rejected. And that they wouldn't be sending a request for additional information so late in the process unless you have been accepted.</p>
<p>So what do you think????</p>
<p>Am I reading more into this than it merits???</p>
<p>It’s probably a generic mass email to all financial aid applicants who have incomplete files and/or missing items, regardless of whether or not they have gained admittance or not. But I can understand your excitement, and would advise you to call Emory’s Office of Financial Aid and ask if it means your son/daughter has been accepted.</p>
<p>Not all schools and not always. The problem is that I don’t know how it works at Emory at this time. I know that at Pitt, they do an auto process to have all the ducks in a row and if you are out of state, it is an automatic verification request, because we just went through that, and I was directly told so by someone in the that system</p>
