<p>I just got a letter and Express application from TAP, and it had Columbia University listed on it as my college and also had some financial information about my family listed. I applied there, but I'm wondering if Columbia finaid talked with them and good things are happening at Columbia for me come admissions decisions time? Did others find this to be true?</p>
<p>No, not likely, sorry! Was this your only NY school for FAFSA? The FAFSA info transfers over and since TAP is only payable to NY schools, my guess is that Columbia was the only (or the first) NY school you listed on FAFSA. You won’t actually find out about your TAP award until the state budget passes in April. But good luck anyway!</p>
