<p>my parents got a letter from whitman's finaid office saying "we are in the process of computing your daughter's financial need for the 2005-2006 academic year," and they need more information. does this mean i'm in? or do they evaluate everyone's financial aid applications separately from their admission-to-the-college applications?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>YOU ARE IN!!! For some reason I think I remember kids from my school talking about Whitman giving little hints out---kind of like those "likely letters" that were being discussed in other posts. I think you are def. in!! Congrats</p>
<p>Well I'm not THE pessimist here, but.. ariadne09..It cud also be that you might have missed out some information while filling the fin-Aid forms or stuffs like that..and the college sent the letters to your parents seeking some information regarding those missed out information. Isn't it true that the college calculates the need of all the students who have applied?</p>
<p>Sorry for the discouraging suggestion, but always look up at Stroper's comments to cheer urself up :). Hope we see each other this coming fall!</p>
<p>Blip---are you def. going to whitman?? Did you apply early?</p>
<p>I agree with blip. Just in case, you don't want to get your hopes up. Good luck though!</p>
<p>well, yes If I'm accepted to Whitman for this coming fall, I'm definitely going there. It's my dream college.</p>
<p>it's okay, i'll live i think. :P</p>
<p>my other friend got a letter from hopkins saying almost the exact same thing, and she didn't even finish their application (didn't send in SATs or an essay)...i guess whitman does the same thing and calculates for all applicants, like you said.</p>
<p>guess i shall have to wait until april, just like the rest of the normal high school senior population.</p>
<p>hey, guess it was a good sign...i just got my acceptance letter from whitman today. :D</p>
<p>Congrats!!! And I Told You Guys!!!!!</p>
<p>Yeah! Wow congrats ariadne09...STROPER22 is always right;)</p>
<p>in between he also said that I will certainly get in:D</p>
<p>Hey, ariadne09, congratulations!</p>
<p>Just curious.....was it just a small envelope saying you had been accepted, or the full fledged thick envelope?? Also, what part of the country do you live?</p>
<p>Again, congrats!! It is a great school.</p>
<p>Congrats! I guess I was wrong. Well, it never hurts to be safe.</p>
<p>yeah guys...listen to me!! I called that one and blip is going to get in too!! Mark my word</p>
<p>hehe, thanks everyone....</p>
<p>it was indeed a BIG envelope. took a minute for me to register that fact when i was at the post office! i'm in hawaii, btw.</p>
<p>haha I love the envelope because it says "congratulations" on the outside</p>
