<p>Today we received an email reminder to complete our financial aid application that we started three weeks ago then abandoned because we thought why bother, our S does not have a chance at Princeton!
Anyone else received a reminder? Is it a mass mail that went to everyone who did not complete the finaid app? Am I reading too much into it?
It seems to me that they should not bother reminding anybody of anything specialy if the student has not been accepted unless it makes a difference in the numbers they report at the end of the accademic year. </p>
<p>Probably mass-mail. We too got one of those and feel the same way as you do–that Princeton has no business sending our kids emails like this and raising their hopes only to be disappointed in two weeks.</p>
<p>I just figured a mass mailing meant to everyone, not those who were cherry picked as having incomplete files.</p>
<p>I applied ED and my f.a. application was sent in a long time ago. Mom sent in her tax returns and W-2 March 1.</p>
<p>I will say that the 3 schools where I am likely to get accepted have contacted my mom about various things or have called to remind us to send in documentation. The two school were I will be most likely rejected, I haven’t heard a thing from their f.a. office (Princeton being one of them).</p>
<p>I was responding to this sentence. Unless all of you have a half-filled unsubmitted financial aid form on the Princeton site, you have nothing to worry about. I thought this was our unique situation since we forgot to complete this FA application, but it seems like for every unique experience you have company on Collegeconfidential. Of course, I am sure none of this has any bearing on the admissions result. So don’t worry at all! Good luck to all of you.</p>
