[FAFSA]

I tried searching, but I apologise if this question has been asked and/or answered before.

When I received my EFC, I had a C next to it, apparently because I had never registered with the Selective Service. Since I didn't arrive in the US until after I was 27, I was exempt from doing so. The FAFSA website instructed me to call SSS, and so I did. They asked me to send a letter of Status Request, providing proof that I was exempt from registering. I have sent such letter, and I believe all the documentation I included should suffice (copy of my passport with entry stamps and so on), so I should receive a status letter soon-ish (4-6 weeks apparently).

My question is, once said letter arrives, do I need to bring it to the FinAid office at my new school, or do I need to send it on to the FAFSA people?

Has anybody else here been in this situation before? any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[American Admitted Students Day]

What are you supposed to wear to admitted students day? business casual or full-on suit?

[American University (SIS)]

I was admitted in early March and I sent my reply form and deposit cheque a few days later. As of this morning I hadn't heard back from them at all, my cheque had not yet been cashed, and I couldn't RSVP online for Grad Day, so I decided to give them a call; I spoke to an admissions counselor and it seems they've received a much larger number of applications this year than they did last year, so they're running a bit behind.

They told me to RSVP by sending an email and to create a student account, so I now have an american.edu email address, along with access to resources like a "get ready for grad school" checklist which seems to be quite useful.

I'm still waiting for course registration and financial aid information, and I've no idea when/how I'll get an advisor. Has anybody gotten that far?
