2017 Lehigh RD Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>When you check you portal what does your admission status say?</p>

<p>Does it mean anything if the financial aid office keeps requesting more forms? Like they requested the business supplement and then my parents’ business tax returns and now the partner tax returns.<br>
So if theyre requesting all that they’re obviously doing the financial aid for me so I could have possibly gotten in because they dont do aid for people they deny right?
Im totally fishing here but yeah idk</p>

<p>@lehighhopeful thats a really good sign.</p>

<p>I hope so! And when I login to my portal it says decisions will be posted in march. But I have to login through chrome or else if I use firefox it says error where application status is</p>

<p>Ya I am getting the error…I have to check on another browser. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Do the requests for more info have a student I’d anywhere on the form?</p>

<p>I dont see any requests on mine. I think they got everything.</p>

<p>Umm idk I just checked my portal for the financial aid checklist and a week ago they requested one of the tax returns and 2 days ago they put in a new request for partner tax returns</p>

<p>These are not my parents income tax returns, these are for their business which we got the requests for after we did the business farm supplement, just to clarify</p>

<p>We received the farm supplement form and it had a student ID on it which did turn out to be my daughters I’d number.</p>

<p>so it’s good if they asked for tax returns and the financial aid package right? or do they ask everyone for that?</p>

<p>I think everyone had to send tax returns.</p>

<p>Everyone had to send tax returns. Im not talking about normal tax returns. The latest they requested was the partner tax returns from my parents business. Theyre two completely seperate things.</p>

<p>I got a similar email from Richmond’s financial aid office last week (actually they were asking very specific information about a line item on my partnership tax return), and was thinking the same thing. I would have to believe they only do a thorough review of students likely to be accepted. Not a slam-dunk, necessarily, but I wouldn’t think you’re in the pile of definite rejects (not yet, anyway). Good luck!</p>

<p>they requested Schedule A and D for my parent’s tax return
is it bad to be sending them stuff now?</p>

<p>has anyone gotten a solid date to check the portal for a decision?</p>

<p>I don’t think there’s an official date yet but like @Donald203 said, is it bad if they’re requesting financial information now?</p>

<p>You need to send anything they request. They did want all schedules I believe.</p>

<p>yea I’m gonna scan them and send it to them today. My parents and I had no clue they wanted all schedules until I checked Lehigh’s site yesterday.</p>

<p>@GCmom</p>

<p>Class of 2015 decisions were posted on March 24th (Thursday) and Class of 2016 decisions were posted on March 23 (Friday), so I’m thinking either the 21st or 22nd of the month we will hear. </p>

<p>Seems like an eternity away, especially since I’m just waiting on Lehigh and one other school.</p>

<p>@yankeesfanatic good detective work. We are also waiting on a couple of schools.</p>
