Financial Aid Office Email - does it mean anything?

why would fin aid office contact all applicants when in fact only about 20% get admitted and perhaps another 10% waitlisted. so my thinking is admissions committee passes on “admit” or “waitlist” to fin aid, and fin aid wants to determine the package it can offer only to those. otherwise it doesn’t make any sense that fin aid will contact all. that’s the reason for bringing this up. i’m sure there are others who are slightly behind in their fin aid paperwork.

i don’t doubt that i got in (assumption, can be wrong, but i’m in at Stanford and Duke w/ a possible fullride), but just worried if i’m not getting any scholarship, which is essential for me to consider JHU seriously.
