<p>is my fingers drumming on the table waiting for some communication from this school.</p>
<p>is my clock ticking for the day until i hear from this school</p>
<p>if you guys are RD, it'll be about 3 weeks! HANG IN!</p>
<p>Is AU ringing me up for $. Hang in there prospies...</p>
<p>Is there any reason to think decision letters will come before April 1? As much as we'd like to wait to hear from AU, the other schools to which my son is already accepted are using this time to persuade him. If it's April before we even hear anything from AU, there will be precious little time to make such an important decision. If he commits somewhere else now it can have some advantages for housing preferences, etc.</p>
<p>I think that without an early action program AU is putting itself at a disadvantage.</p>
<p>^If AU had an EA admissions option, my daughter would have definitely pursued it.</p>
<p>My son got an email acceptance sometime in mid-March. This was 4 years ago (he's graduating this year, woo hoo!), so maybe things have changed somewhat.</p>
<p>According to this thread, it looks like, last year, people began to receive decisions via email beginning around March 10. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=155357%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=155357</a></p>
<p>Although students and parents(myself included) should keep in mind that--based upon that same thread--the decisions weren't sent out all at once, but rather, they were sent somewhat in batches.</p>
<p>March 10??? dont they officially say its Begininning of April. I applied Jan 15th. I guess in my case I wont see any responses till APril right?</p>
<p>as i wrote earlier, our experience just last year was around mid-March. we also knew something was happening much earlier, as the financial aid office was contacting us separately. but i'd say DEFINITE acceptance package in march. i think rejections come in April 1 and after.</p>
<p>acarta07, the message on the "application status" section of the undergraduate student portal included this sentence: "Admission decisions will be released by the beginning of April." We interpreted that as meaning that the beginning of April would be the latest that the decisions would be sent out, in which case the March decisions would make sense. If this assumption is mistaken, hopefully someone from AU will correct me.</p>
<p>i got in ED for the upcoming fall!!
but yea, umm the ED thing says you will know by december 31 and i asked and they kept saying dec 31... and then i found out like december 13th that i got in via a personal phone call from admissions... so i mean it depends on applicant number amounts and such. good luck to everyone, it's a great school!</p>
<p>I know that many times they will post your financial aid package before they send you a decision, so keep a close eye on that.</p>
<p>SO if uget Fin. Aid info before, could it mean ur admitted or its just giving u a financial aid package regardless of ur admission status?</p>
<p>acarta~
we tortured ourselves over your very question last year! in our experience, the schools that were working up their acceptance packages were the exact ones that offerred admission! the financial aid contact was a mix of things, before anything was officially put on the portal, ie, questions about the FAFSA, etc.these questions came from the fin. aid offices of the accepting schools, way before the actual admission offer.our theory was, why should thye use their manpower on those they aren't accepting!
also, commenting on the other april 1 deadline folks...april 1 is and always has been the RD notification date, for all non-rolling, schools with dec-jan. application deadlines. most kids i know are awaiting all the applications they did this way...it's the norm! GOOD LUCK! AND YEAH, IT IS A GREAT SCHOOL!</p>
<p>** i meant "working up their FINANCIAL AID packages**(PREVIOUS LINE 2)</p>
