Thanks! I actually did apply for one, but I was wondering if you know/remember how long it takes. I submitted everything they request 2 months ago and still haven't heard back. I followed up twice - the first time, she apologized and said she'd review it soon. I haven't gotten a reply since my second follow-up and that was 2 weeks ago. I don't want to drive her crazy, but I would like an answer either way.

Every two weeks is reasonable. The new term stuff is calming down so they may have time to work on it now.

Thanks for the input! I'll keep waiting then.

Just an fyi in case it helps anyone else who faces this in the future... I still hadn't gotten any reply after a few more attempts to follow up (so close to 3 months after submitting my request and required documents). I mentioned it to Laurie in Financial Aid and she escalated it for me, so I finally started getting responses from people. It seems that it really isn't supposed to take this long as everyone I've spoken to there was surprised that I hadn't gotten an answer yet. My advice for anyone else who ends up dealing with something of this nature here, is to be very polite since it is a small school with very busy staff... but if you don't get a timely response after requesting a judgment, you can reach out to someone else in Financial Aid and ask for help.

Please forward and escalate to [email protected] and tell him that. He's investigating the issue personally as well. He seemed pretty upset these were o nthe backburner.

I will! Thanks again, for both the info (that prompted me to look into it in the first place) and the advice. I don't think escalating it further will help me, but I hope they can address it for future students. I've told the Financial Aid people repeatedly that I understand they're busy, but they should at least reply to emails with an update or something. I literally finished the program while I was waiting for a reply. Still love the program though and Laurie in Financial Aid is awesome.
