I really hope they do! Dr. Foreman said they would send it out by tomorrow but could be earlier, so I hope that at least means not later. But I could be wrong LOL

Yeah, don't feel bad. It is good for us to get our feelings out or we might explode haha. This is a rough time...
I am just going crazy because out of all the schools I applied to, my #1 school is the last one to let me know their decision! :arghh:

Can any current students provide insight on when we will receive our loans for living expenses? Trying to stay busy and look into potential living arrangements for the summer rather than fret about decisions. Knowing how long my savings need to last would be fantastic!! Thanks!

It seems you get them within a few weeks of school starting. This spring semester, they were disbursed on January 8th or something, so we didn't even need to wait for class to start. I didn't even fill out my FAFSA until August last year (cause it doesn't matter for loans; they'll give you all the monies then lol) and got the disbursement by mid-September

As far as I'm aware, a week or two before school starts. I've gotten my disbursements at the beginning (like the first week) of August/January each year.

Another question related to finances that might be dumb... are the campus fees yearly or is just for the first year?

Haha you're not old! I took a year and a half off after high school so I'm actually older than most of my classmates. Hopefully we get our letters Monday. I feel like, if I'm going to get a rejection it'd be convenient to have it on Monday bc I'll already be feeling sh***y Signing off for the weekend. Good luck and I hope you have good news to share with the thread Monday!

when your school's mailman knows your expecting a letter, so he messages you to let you know you have a letter, but it wasn't the letter you were expecting. *sigh*

I keep checking the accepted students page on the website just to see if they've updated it for 2021. I feel like they would update it before sending out decisions... but who knows!

They updated it with 2020's stats? They hadn't done that when I checked in Octoberish...
 
I'm starting to think my parents are more nervous than I am because I got out of class to a text from my mom saying "no mail yet". Shes done this every day the last week........
