<p>or maybe they changed their policy this year?</p>
<p>I got mine via e-mail as well.</p>
<p>I got mine by email and have it saved in my email account that I just looked at.</p>
<p>When they inform us of our decision, would they also inform us of merit scholarships at the same time (for interim decision)?</p>
<p>i guess. But when ARE they informing us?</p>
<p>feb. 10 ******</p>
<p>SO are the decisions MAILED on Feb 10th or will they be ONLINE Feb 10th.</p>
<p>mailed Feb 10th i believe.. just wait it out its only 5 days</p>
<p>Go out and have fun...</p>
<p>As they say, ignorance is bliss. So regardless thr result, chill out! You will all do fine</p>
<p>Y'all, ID decisions are the 10th, NOT the 5th.</p>
<p>The 5th is when the tracking site for parts of an application will be available for RD. </p>
<p>At least that is how I'm interperting it.</p>
<p>Based on experience with the ED process, you will probably be able to view your decision online after 5:00 p.m. (central time) on the 10th. You will also receive an email at some point after that. Your letter may arrive shortly before the 10th or anytime after, depending on what part of the country you live in and how slow the post office is. Financial aid and merit info. will be in the letter, not online.</p>
<p>financial aid comes in later... only scholarships are included in the packet</p>
<p>We received a financial aid estimate in the letter. Actual amount will be determined after FAFSA has been filed (I assume we'll get it in April).</p>
<p>i see.. yeah thats what i meant - actual fin. aid is in April - I got mine on April 9th i think</p>
<p>back to the first question...</p>
<p>to clarify, we will actually probably find out if we got accepted by mail BEFORE they post it online? I'm assuming it won't take the post office 4+ days to mail the letter.</p>
<p>My son got his acceptance priority mail, before it was posted online, however that was two years ago, so it might have changed. He was ID.</p>
<p>last year, they released the decisions online 4 days fater mailing it. I got my acceptance fed exed to India before they came online</p>
<p>I kinda want the suspense of opening an envelope...</p>
<p>well the thickness of the envelope does have some tell...but yeah i agree the suspense would be cool</p>
<p>on the other hand, finding out asap is always nice as well...</p>
<p>i heard that the envelope is deceptive..</p>
<p>parabuzzle,</p>
<p>Really? Do you have specifics?</p>
