True or False: In need-blind schools, the FA office reviews applicants only once they're admitted'

Is this true? Is this false? Help.

It is false. Many if not all schools have the admissions office working the applications and the FA office working the aid applications at the same time. When admissions makes the decision to admit, FA is ready to go too.

Please provide a reference for your thread title, which is in quotes. It would be helpful to know where these words came from.

@BelknapPoint I read a comment in a Cornell thread and paraphrased it, I didn’t mean to make it sound like a reputable source or anything.

Probably in most college, the admission office is working at the same time, because the acceptance letter is send with the financial aid letter.Financial Aid office can’t wait until admissions office give a list of acceptance, because they don’t have time, they prefer start the process.

I don’t remember wich college’s president give this information in a YouTube video a saw few weeks ago.

Different is, admissions office decisions is not taken by reviewing the financial aid application unlike the college need aware.

It’s false. The admissions office and the FA office are working on parallel paths, but are not looking over each other’;s shoulder. Requests for further info from an FA office is not a hint that you will be admitted.

As an FYI, I edited the header to be less clickbait-y
