blueberriesforsal:

I don’t feel it’s right for me to contact his actual AO - communication needs to be between student and AO alone as the student’s the one applying.

But isn’t your son already admitted?

And if instead they organized it by having the AO’s temporarily transfer to the GinAid office during their busy period (and a less busy period for Admissions) would that be OK? I knew a very small college that had one office that handled both - was that OK?

It seems like you are making this more complicated than it has to be.
