<p>So I logged into UCI admissions today and still nothing, but then I clicked on “My Aid” and logged in, when I click on “My Aid Award” I get the meesage below, anyone getting this or a different message?</p>
<p>“Your file is complete and we are expecting to begin awarding financial aid in mid-April. You will receive notification from us once your award information is available.”</p>
<p>^ I got the exact same thing. Does this mean we have pre-maturely been accepted?</p>
<p>I don’t think it means anything. Financial Aid stuff is usually independent of admission stuff I believe…</p>
<p>I talked to a rep. yesterday on my campus about admissions. He said that TAG should go out first, in the next couple of weeks. I have no idea how accurate this is, but him and the other rep both said if you have TAG did your classes and kept up the contract, not to worry. So basically, just what we already know.</p>
<p>My financial aid also says my file is complete. Anyone not have this message?</p>
<p>ditto that :)</p>
<p>FWIW i got a financial aid award letter from Merced a couple days before i was officially accepted.</p>
<p>I have the same message but I don’t think it means we have been accepted.</p>
<p>i got it too o.o</p>
<p>Mine says it’s complete also, but it has since day one of me logging on. I don’t think it means anything</p>
<p>huh really? ive been logging on it for the longest time and i barely got that new message and new crap to look at.</p>
<p>Were you logging into the fin aid page? Mines had the complete message since the first day I logged on.</p>
<p>Has everyone had a to-do list to get the financial aid since the first day?</p>
<p>I think the message is new. I’ve been snooping around and I never noticed it before.</p>
<p>yeah im pretty sure its new. i barely got the to do thingy also.</p>
<p>This?</p>
<p>Your initial application is complete and all documents were submitted on time.</p>
<p>Based upon the receipt dates as shown below, you may be considered for “priority funding” (this includes grants, loans and work-study). Please note, that we may be asking for additional information from you to complete the evaluation of your file. You will remain eligible for priority funding providing all future documents requested are received on or before the due date.</p>
<p>^^ cuz if that’s what were talking about mines been up since the day the first batch of decisions came out.</p>
<p>well yeah but they added new tabs. like before you could only look at 3 right i forget. i just know its different. the my aid and award and to do list tabs are new.</p>
<p>Your file is complete and we are expecting to begin awarding financial aid in mid-April. You will receive notification from us once your award information is available.</p>
<p>they were talking about that message in the my aid award tab.</p>
<p>^ yeah i’m talking about that message. that’s the new thing I got on my financial aid tab. And there’s another “to-do” tab that says:</p>
<p>Use this To Do list to make sure you have completed all the steps to receive your financial aid. Print a copy of this To Do List for your records and check off those items you have completed. This does not need to be submitted to our office. Failure to complete items may result in your aid not being available to pay fees or delay your receipt of funds.</p>
