<p>So I still haven't received a financial aid package from ND, is this normal?</p>
<p>I'm fairly certain that I will be going to Stanford at this point but I have nothing to compare their award package to and if I got a great deal from ND I might go there instead, it is closer to home and religious with both have their appeal.</p>
<p>Anyone know when these should arrive? Should I call ND?</p>
<p>Call the financial aid office - or do they have a portal for checking your status online?</p>
<p>Amica, I sent an email to the office and they said they are still trying to make a thorough review of the materials, which I found strange since its almost May and I’m positive I turned my FAFSA and CSS in on time.</p>
<p>I don’t think ND has a portal, or at least I haven’t been able to find it :(</p>
<p>This is certainly an awkward situation to be in, because if I do get good aid from ND I don’t know if I will have enough time to visit campus and decide between ND and Stanford.</p>
<p>Did you turn in your IDOC?</p>
<p>I thought they were fairly slow when S was an entering freshman–they were last out of 10 schools and did not send f/a with the acceptance letter (the other schools did). I would call rather than email-at this point you barely have a week to decide.</p>
<p>I am in the same situation! I have contacted them numerous times, and still: nada. For me, I want to compare ND’s financial to my Vanderbilt offer, but I’m worried there won’t be time.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m in the same predicament. Yet, most of the estimate net price calculators I’ve used have been somewhat accurate (give or take 2 thousand) from what my actual price of attending a college would be. I’m just hoping ND’s calculator is just as accurate because if that’s the case, I’d definitely attend. Sigh… what to do.</p>
<p>@emilysayshello Vandy gave me a significant amount more than ND if that helps. ND didn’t even come close enough to even consider going to ND instead of Vandy</p>
<p>@TransVersed Thanks for letting me know! Notre Dame STILL has not sent me my financial aid, after multiple times contacting them, so it looks like I’m going to Vandy, which I am very excited about!</p>
