Not yet. When I spoke with them, they said they expect it to be released by the end of the month.

Sent a LOCI-esque email in to finaid today about my scholly negotiation. Hope it wasn't too much, but I'm itching for a response. Basically just stated that I enjoyed the preview day last week though.

Side note, looked at a couple apts on Thurs. and the broker was a pretty lousy guy once I told him we basically wouldn't sign on it that day - we're still gonna rent an apartment here, sorry dude.

Can you let me know if they respond with anything about the scholly negotiation?

Just got my need-based aid too. 4K/year.

I submitted the app as soon as I was accepted, but that was after the deadline, so I suspect that accounts for the low number. It's still something though.

How long did it take you guys to hear back about your need-based aid? (I also sent mine in after the deadline, fwiw - got accepted last week)

I actually did the same thing, sent a scholarship loci letter on Monday. Have you heard back from them/did you apply for need based?

Also, brokers wouldn't talk to me until i said I was moving up definitely.

Haven't heard yet, actually just submitted an update to an offer that got increased from another school right before people started to hear - hope that doesn't delay it!

Yeah, I'm hoping that sending in the other offers doesn't delay their response. But who knows.
