A curious question

[howhwa]

<p>I just got an email from cornell's financial aid office asking me to send in some forms that I am missing.</p>

<p>My question is: Since the decisions are probably already made by now, would they have not bothered emailing me about my missing forms if I had been rejected?
Or do they process all finacial aid application regardless of the applicant's status?</p>

<p>Cornell claims that FA is processed independently from the admissions decisions. That's what they say, at least...</p>

<p>FWIW, they sent the same e-mail to me last year, and I was deferred ED.</p>
