So what is the process for getting a financial aid determination started? One page I found says it will login information will come via email, and since the admission decision only came yesterday, maybe a little patience is called for. But since HLS uses their own institutional methodology it is impossible to know what info to start pulling together, particularly about the parental support.

Can anybody who was admitted earlier in the cycle offer a little info?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, was admitted last week and got my finaid login a week to the day after I was admitted. There's a good video that comes along with it to show you what parent info you need. If I remember correctly, I believe they want 2016 info for parents rather than the 2015 info needed for FAFSA.

Thanks much. I hope it does not take a week to get a log in. There are only 4 weeks left before seat deposits are due, and it probably takes them two weeks to do an aid determination, so time is getting tight.

Current 1L. Feel free to message me and ask any questions that you have about HLS, and that goes for everyone in this thread regardless of whether you went to ASW or not.

Received mine a week ago, and was admitted nearly a month ago. My friend said hers took two weeks to arrive and she lives in PA.

Same. Now I'm wondering if the deadbeats in #7 stole my beloved keychain...I *will* have the landlord check tapes if I have to.

I'm an idiot. I thought you meant the online "Harvard key" login thing. No key chain here.

Anyone know how long I can wait to accept my offer and apply for housing and still have a very good shot at Gropius? I'd like to wait until I visit Stanford next weekend, at least.

Pretty sure as long as you apply before the 28th you'll be fine, the time you submit the application bears no relation to the outcome of the lottery

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
