WHOA Status Update Acceptance??!

<p>^^i didn't apply for need based aid and i got the trustee</p>

<p>How do you know if you qualified for any merit aid?</p>

<p>I just got this letter saying how i didn't qualify for any need-based fin aid. Is there another place to check?</p>

<p>I have no financial award letter on the status. Anyone else in this situation?</p>

<p>How do you check your admission decision? I looked on admissions.rice.edu/webcheck but it had no updates yet...</p>

<p>"Anyone else's financial info say</p>

<p>"Information as of:"</p>

<p>Its just cut off after that.'</p>

<p>Mine does, too, but I didn't apply for need-based. Does this mean we probably didn't get a merit-based scholarship?</p>

<p>My decision was pretty weird. I borrowed my dad's computer to check my email, then acted like I got an admissions decision (which got him all excited) and after a few seconds I told him I was just kidding. Then I went onto this site and saw that Rice decision's came out, then I logged on to my account and saw that I was accepted. I told him and he thought I was still kidding. Classic :)</p>

<p>Yay accepted!!</p>

<p>I got accepted!</p>

<p>No financial aid, though. :(</p>

<p>@ JBM: I know what you mean...</p>

<p>I'm an ED applicant. My financial aid letter is headed March 23, 2009 but looks the same as the one I got in December and has dated phrases.</p>
