the thick envelope - Beginning April 1 or BY April 1?

<p>Just curious if anyone familiar with previous years knows: do the thick acceptance packets (not the emails, postcards to events for accepted students, etc.) wait UNTIL April 1 to arrive? Or do they sometimes arrive BY April 1? Son applied to Steinhardt (received the travel plans email!) and we are in CA. And are merit scholarships typically included in the acceptance packet?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>i would really like to know this too!!</p>

<p>Your full financial aid offer SHOULD be included with that acceptance packet (the way I understand it). It will include all aid of any sort. One exception I’ve heard is that one person said that, last year, late April, a Mom whose son had already received his acceptance, got a BIG scholarship. She felt it MIGHT be that someone else declined theirs. ??</p>

<p>As for “ON or BY Apri l”…NYU’s website says something to the effect of “arriving on or about April 1”. (I THINK the e-mail said that too…I’m SUPER lazy today so I’m not going looking). So…bottom line, I think they MIGHT have that acceptance a BIT earlier? </p>

<p>If you’re like me…it makes a BIG difference in travel plans for 4/9-11! The money, CAS’s weekend schedule, and any other acceptances, affect our travel plans so it’s high cost airline tickets - for sure. Unless there is LITTLE aid included…then…no worries…no travel.</p>

<p>LUCK!!!</p>

<p>thank you R####### and i’m in the same boat with travel plans. lets hope the letters get here slightly before april 1st!</p>
