<p>@gigagirl, my son is in the exact same situation with the “hokie bird” and the financial aid award letter on the guest account. It is interesting to say the least. Financial aid office just says that they put packages together for everyone that fills out a FASFA, and uses their school code. But I, like you, wonder why they would bother to put it together, and then post it early without admissions offer. I know we will find out certainly on March 22, but has anyone ever heard of earlier admissions notifications (new, incoming freshman, not a transfer)?</p>
