<p>Hoping to start at Columbia through GS in Fall 2009. Just faxed over my Planned Enrollment Form today. Does anyone know how long they waited before receiving financial aid information? This seriously determines whether or not I go there or study elsewhere for the fall.</p>
<p>Oh goodness, I am wondering if I need to send the acceptance letter before I get the finaid info. Anyone know this offhand? I thought to hold off on sending it until I received financial aid information but the person at the finaid office who emailed me stated that I should be receiving an award letter at the end of the month…</p>
<p>Yes. You can reply after receiving your financial aid award-- I did it last year when I was accepted. Just call the office and let them know that financial aid is an important factor in your decision.</p>
