I thought they said we didn't need to fill anything out for merit aid since it has nothing to do with FAFSA or our need based aid.Hey! I'm not sure the criteria they use, but they consider the financial aid questionnaire strongly when making this decision.
Merit aid is often not full tuition. This just often helps to reduce the amount of loans you need to take out (via grad plus for example) - you can take out up to cost of attendance, including merit and need-based aid, as well as other scholarships in loans. So if you get 25k in merit aid and COA is 85k, you would only have to take out 60k in loans (I use "only" loosely lol) instead of 85k in loans. Over 15 years, that is a pretty significant difference!
Does that answer your question?
In the past three years they have always sent out decisions this week, but the day has varied between Wed/Thurs/Fri. So if we don't hear back today I have a feeling we will hear something tomorrow. In case anyone is interested!

Yeah I think I heard that too but also that we needed to fill out the questionnaire. I also remember that merit aid is 1) holistic 2) will be out earliest approx March 15th 3) there will be rounds.I thought they said we didn't need to fill anything out for merit aid since it has nothing to do with FAFSA or our need based aid.
Do you think someone can contact them about this? They seem to have taken down the videos....
If I am waiting on a decision, should I do the fin aid questionnaire? I have turned in FAFSA already, but I wanted to see of there is anything else I can do in terms of financial aid right now?

I don't remember clearly.... It may just be information for them to keep you on file? It's not that long to fill out and I did it in ~15 min. It's supposed to be decided by the admissions committee but I wouldn't be surprised if they n eeded it to correspond with each other lolBut I don't need to fill it out to see what my merit aid is tho right?

Hey! This was pretty confusing my year too. I am pretty sure you need to fill out the FAQ either way, unless things have changed. Here is the link to the FAQBut I don't need to fill it out to see what my merit aid is tho right?

If you really don't want to fill this out, definitely email student financial aid at [email protected] just to make sure that's ok - they can answer any questions. They are usually really responsive.

WL, interviewed in early Feb.
Based on last year's thread, there were two version of wait-list-style emails that went out around this time - a "rolling admissions" email and a "wait list" email. It seemed as though people who received a "rolling admissions" email were more likely to be admitted than those who received a "wait list" email. Not sure if this is the case again this year, but feel free to browse last year's thread.

*nervous breathing* early Feb interviewer here
Post II R, interviewed Feb 8th and then had a second interview Feb 23rd. I thought the interview went really well, evidently not.
The WL email seemed to have a positive connotation. Idk if that will translate to good WL movement thoWL, interviewed in early Feb.

+1 WL. Not sure if there is a HPWL this year but if there is I am bummed because I felt really good about this interview.
is there anyway to know if these all went out at the same time or are they going 1 by 1?
Maybe they’re sending out A’s last?I interviewed in early Feb and I haven't heard anything. I'm nervous, I love this school!

Could be! I will note, though, that last year I don't think there were any direct As reported in the SDN thread by this time.Maybe they’re sending out A’s last?

Assuming you're referring to their interview portal - no change in there that I can see.Is there any portal update for everyone who got the R or WL?
I think they'll wait till after 4/30 before giving out more As...just to avoid over-enrollment
+1 WL, late January interview
Post II R. Interviewed Feb 1st.
