I’m sticking with that’s a bad sign we did not receive even if we don’t have an account set up since some say they got it. But good luck to you all! :pray:t3::heart:

Someone I know was accepted last year after being deferred and did not receive the financial aid email beforehand so do not think the email means anything.

also remember to check whatever email is associated with your child’s FAFSA app.

Same here! Got excited until I got on these threads to get a reality check! My kid’s is “SubmittedAwaitingDecision” and we were able to set up the univ account. However, if you go into the Self Service area to “pay enrollment” it sent us back to the Applicant portal. :woman_shrugging:

yes - looks like it’s going to be next week maybe
 bummer. Last year it was 2/23 - was super hopeful
 it’s been a bit since I had a friday rejection/waitlist :joy:

Did you set up the VIP ID on the link above? That’s all it is - so perhaps that part was done
?

We never received a VIP #. But we also never submitted any of the actual FASFA forms.

oh that may be the trigger then

I definitely think if you got that email you are in!! :tada::tada: congratulations

I think there is still a chance even if you didn’t get the email.

I don’t think we got the vip id until after my son was accepted. We claimed it that night.

also didn’t set up fasfa or any finacial aid and didn’t receive an email. I believe the email is only if you has set up the financial aid.

That’s great. Waitlisted get the same VIP #. Didn’t know until my oldest was waitlisted. It was bitter sweet

Well good luck to everyone!!! Prayers for all!

Meaning, do you think if someone checked that they would not be applying for need based financial aid - they may not be in queue to receive this type of email?

yes, it seems that everyone with the email checked the box for some sort of aid

Same! Son got 2 years ago and was WL. Did not get for this son.
