I applied for financial aid on time. I completed all the necessary documents. So, is it a bad sign that I haven’t received any postal mail notification about financial aid? I am just getting nervous since may have been notified already.
@random897 I counted 9 or 10
same @ivydreamer2021 I have no idea. I was deferred from early decision though so I think thats why its that way for me.
Guys y’all gotta chill. I’m bugging out just as much as you are but it’s less than three days away and then you’ll know for sure. Take a deep breath, drink some tea, watch some TV and relax.
@slb2299 I was deferred ED and I got the snail mail.
the snail mail? @MissaPrez
I discovered that the correlation for Princeton existed in 2013 and 2014, but when it came to 2016, this correlation didn’t exist according to the 2016 thread. However, in 2016 thread, many many students got this letter which means that they may sent the FA emails to all students who did not fill in the fin aid documents. @PapaCr
@slb2299 the letter in the mail
Got the FA email last week. :0
@lauren887 did you also get the snail mail this week or at all?
Based on the number of ppl who have received the snail mail, do you guys think the trend has changed for Penn or no?
Well in an earlier post someone said they counted 20 people, in a certain thread, who got the email. So we are still below that number. Also @mingmingmiko Princeton sent out emails instead of snail mail so maybe that makes a difference, hopefully the same does not happen here.
Respectful suggestion: Start a new thread where you can debate the meaning of various emails or snail mails received from various Penn offices. (Hint: They don’t mean anything.) Re-read #483 above. Chill, people.
@Itisatruth just wondering what exactly you would like to talk about in the thread? Also, there is a thread for that topic, the conversation has just arrisen here as well. In addition to this, yes, in many years past, mail received from finaid around this time has meant something. CC threads for colleges are almost always full of speculation before decision days…if you wanted a set of chill people I think you probably came to the wrong place
@nerdbregade speculation is life :))
Guys, no need at all for any negative feelings 
@nerdbregade I think @Itisatruth just means to say that either way we will receive the decisions very soon, so the debate over something like that is really of little value at this point, since we’re already THAT close to finding out 
I didn’t get the financial aid letter, and I didn’t finish the financial aid forms. Hope that this isn’t a bad sign for me. 
@Kimo212 oh I definitely agree with that, there really is no need to speculate, and I didn’t mean any ill will by my statement so I’m sorry if it came off that way. I just think a place like CC Is inherently lacking in chill so telling stressed kids to doesn’t reAlly help
@nerdbregade No worries! And while it’s definitely how I feel as well, I think it’s also beneficial to realize that the stress we have is because we all want to do very well in our lives, and I think that’s an achievement in itself. Not everyone wants to do well, and certainly not everyone is motivated enough to do so. My point is, regardless of how you feel, do not forget that your motivation to succeed will eventually matter a lot more than whatever decision you get two days from now, even if it is an acceptance. This is not the end, it’s the beginning
Good luck to all from a parent whose child was accepted last year!
Fwiw, since this is the current topic, we sent in financial aid forms, received basic notice they were received and being processed in Feb 2016 (“Your online document submission has been completed. You submitted # document(s) on 2/#/2016 _ PM. Please allow 3 business days for us to process your information”), heard nothing back whatsoever from anyone in financial aid office. And again, accepted. So, lack of an email does not mean anything at all.
