Change in ED application status

So like many of you, I’m sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear my fate for early decision to Cornell. I obsessively log in to my application status page almost daily. Today I noticed they added a financial aid to-do list with a bunch of items on it. I was wondering if that is standard for everyone who applies or just for people who may have made it to the next stage of the decision process. Would they want all of the financial information, including parent’s pay stubs, if they were just going to reject me, or is this new to-do list a good sign? Am I reading to much into it?

I think it happens for everyone. Admissions and aid are separate, the IDOC requests are normal things and are listed on their applying for aid checklist. I wish this was a sign :frowning:
