<p>Just got accepted off the waitlist for CAS! Got an email around 5 pm. Just show a lot of interest! I sent emails, called often, sent extra letters of recommendation! Also got inducted to NHS so I’m sure that helped. Bottom line: SHOW INTEREST!</p>
<p>Was accepted off the wait list for Newhouse, received financial aid package, but we still would need more to attend. How likely are they to increase the award at Syracuse if we ask? Has anyone out there asked for more aid and what was the outcome?</p>
<p>@jj I submitted an appeal and there was an increase of $1000 not as much ad we needed but its something</p>
<p>@jjcatena, We appealed, called, e-mailed, and got absolutely nowhere with the SU Financial Aid Office. I was very disappointed and DD ultimately decided that the cost, including the student loans that she would have to take out, was not worth it.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I thought that might be the case, but it doesn’t hurt to try.</p>
<p>Well, msmdad, we tried, and also got no additional aid. Too bad-great school.</p>
<p>Hi I would like to know once you receive admittance how long does it take to access financial aid on MySlice ? also Is the Admissions office separate from the financial aid office? and do either transfer students or those students pulled from the waitlist even receive Financial aid ? thank you</p>
<p>@orangewhite22 didn’t you post your D accepted U of F in past?</p>
<p>Yeah, every student, (waitlist nor not) gets some info from financial aid…and it’s usually 2 or 3 days after you get the official admission letter in the email. There’s an Admissions offce on campus, and a financial aid office, but they’re separate.</p>
<p>We got an email the day after acceptance off the waitlist about financial aid. We contacted them about increasing the aid, but they wouldn’t budge. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>ScottG @orangewhite22 yes problem already sent enrollment fee to UF also booked hotel and flight my D is getting cold feet rethinking Cuse don’t know what to do both schools are awesome but she still loves SU Maybe financial aid can clinch it</p>
<p>Sounds like she has orange in her heart! Keep us updated, but it sounds like she has a North Face parka in her future.</p>
<p>ScottG true scottg she has always loved Syracuse as a matter of fact we are driving up tomorrow again. only prob I have is the whole f/a package which we haven’t rec’d yet if it is slim we pack and head south. if it it reasonable I see parkas,and hoodies in the future lol. I really hope their is some monies left over .Some people say it is a waste of time and others say there is. who knows?after reading your entries the may be hope . fingers crossed.so we will wait and see how long it takes. I know SU is a total hoops school so at least if she enrolls there will be one more football fan at the Cuse. bottom line is whatever happens there is Orange in the future</p>
<p>does financial aid show up on myslice first or is it linked from an email</p>
<p>My son got his offer on his my slice account.</p>
<p>How long did it take for your financial aid packages to show up on myslice? I still have not received mine…</p>
<p>Has anybody heard back yet that was waitlisted for Whitman?</p>
<p>Jessie-it came the day after he was told he was accepted off the waitlist. If it has been more than a few days, I would call FA office. Good luck.</p>
<p>@jessie12 we are also waiting for the financial aid package or lack thereof. I called the FA office yesterday and spoke to the rep she was very nice and patient .she xplained that the FA info is sent out on Thursdays via email with link to MySlice so it may not be unusual that you haven’t heard anything yet. Fingers crossed.@jjcatena was the “day after” your S’s admittance a Thursday ?</p>
<p>Thanks for the info guys!! And I called today they said I would receive it on Friday but I was pleasantly surprised went I logged on today. My FA package worked out and I will be attending SU this fall! Good luck to all of you with your future plans!</p>
