When I was reading the websites and applying for FA in January, I didn’t see anything besides the CSS profile requirement for Penn’s FA application for international students. It said CSS is preferred, and if from a country that does not have access to CSS profile they should contact the FA office. (which thankfully wasn’t my case)
I logged into CSS profile yesterday to add another school with later FA deadline, and saw that there was apparently a requirement for Penn’s institutional FA application that I never knew before. After submitting CSS profile I basically never logged in again, I just logged into IDOC occasionally for document submissions and since IDOC said all required documents have been received I thought they were and I didn’t worry anything more about this. But it now looks like I missed the separate form that I was supposed to submit which I didn’t know about…am I completely screwed now? I emailed the financial aid services last night when I had this sudden realization, but what will happen now? Can I still apply for financial aid?
Hey I didn’t know about this either until I saw your post just now. Have you gotten a response from the financial aid services yet?
@classicmix54 Yes I did, they emailed me back saying that I was missing a few documents which I submitted, and they said it’s all good now. So relieved!
Ah that’s good to hear. Hopefully things work out for me, too. Thanks for your help and good luck to you!
Thanks, glad I helped!
