So Marist sent an email from
admissions to myself, my husband and applicant wishing Happy Holidays. Iā€™m hoping this means that good news is in the mail otherwise this will feel a bit like a kick in the shins lol :joy:

Are others still waiting to hear on Early Action applications? Website says mid-January so I assumed we would hear by now. Are they still only using snail mail?

32

We heard via snail mail in Dec

33

My daughter heard via snail mail Dec 23rd but portal isnā€™t updated yet.

34

We went back to reassess merit. Turns out there is a specific email for this. Had to call to find this out after not hearing back from our counselor.

Is your kid able to get more than the merit given? My daughter got the Presidential Scholarship too and pulled all As 1st semester. Iā€™m wondering if she should try to get a bit more are just be happy with the amount she has been given. I submitted FAFSA but Iā€™m not sure if we really qualify for any financial aid.

36

They responded that it would take 2-4 weeks to evaluate

37

Did you have any luck getting additional money?

We did get a small bump and it was not dependent on getting any FAFSA details. It helps. Heā€™s signed up for admitted students day.

We asked at some others schools and two haven not gotten back - said it would be dependent on what happens with the pool of FAFSA money

Itā€™s speculation on my part, but we read somewhere that part of the holdup is that the SAI calculations needed revisions so I wonder of that freaked out the financial aid people. Make they wait to decide?
