Checking in but what's this about a snuggie? I am far away from deciding but this could sway me

Thanks Mikey! Maybe I'll see you there next year (if I end up going)

That's awesome that you got in!

Eh, doubt I'd apply to Yale tbh, unless I get a really high score haha.

So who else is considering money at CCN?

I got the Ruby at Chicago but am leaning towards Yale (I probably want to go into academia, etc). Would love to hear other people's reasoning for their respective choices. It's a tough decision...

That's tough. I'm a finalist for a full ride at NYU, but being from CA and wanting to work/live long term over here, and hoping I'll get decent need based aid from Yale/Stanford, I think that I'd choose Y/S over NYU (if I even get the full ride, which is unlikely). It's really tough though. If you definitely want to go into academia then it's hard to pass up Yale.

Is deposit still a thing?

I didn't find any information about that in the binder.

Also would like to know this! I've looked through the admissions binder and I don't believe it mentions a monetary deposit anywhere.

I know they canceled the deposit requirement for deferred students, I wonder if that was part of a more general policy

No deposit! Just send in the forms

Anyone else think fin aid should come out next week? I mean, the binder said early march and anything march 15th or later constitutes mid to late march.

I emailed to confirm they had received the forms and was told it would be about a week (this was yesterday).

Great! Just read about that in the OP and wanted to confirm.

At the Monday Program (this past Monday), they said financial aid would come out in 1-2 weeks

Has anyone gotten the financial aid package or the snuggie? Equally important.

Neither. And how can you honestly say they're equally important? lol. snuggie > aid

[meanwhile]

To be totally clear, if you got in within the past couple of days and haven't received any info/email about FAAST, the March 15 deadline is not something to freak out about? Seems like no one would be able/expected to gather all that material that fast, but that deadline is the only one listed anywhere that I could find. Thanks in advance!

Correct!

Anyone looking for housing already?

Haven't been seriously looking yet, but hoping I might meet potential roommates at the ASW. Browsing craigslist tells me the furnished one bedrooms and studios in my price range (under $1000) are either far from the school or else in awful shape/not very nice. Better options for a split 2 or 3 bedroom it seems.

yeah my second priority at ASW will be finding a roommate, #1 is figuring out if I'm going there

This is very correct. Unless you absolutely want to be on your own and money isn't really an issue, you're much better off renting a large apartment (or even a house) with a bunch of roommates.

Also: furnished apartments suck. The furniture is invariably crap. There's an Ikea in New Haven, and a decent second-hand furniture market on craigslist. You're here for three years, it may be worth investing a few $ in decent living conditions.
