<p>What forms does the University of Chicago require for financial aid? I know that they require a FAFSA and a CSS-Profile. Is there anything else?</p>
<p>Income tax return copies.</p>
<p>have you looked at their web site? their fin aid app materials? If you really are U. Chicago material, you should have the neurons to figure this out for yourself...</p>
<p>snippy snippy, newmassdad</p>
<p>Indytucker,</p>
<p>snippy snippy, or lazy lazy?</p>
<p>wth,</p>
<p>Lazy? I hope that you are not referring to me.</p>
<p>For your information, I have looked at their financial aid website, and I have read their literature. I did my homework, so it is unfair and just plain rude of you to call me lazy!! You have no grounds to make such a claim. </p>
<p>I only posted this question on cc so I could verify that I wasn't missing any financial aid forms. Even highly intelligent people ask questions for verification. "You should have the neurons to figure [that] out..." even if you are't University of Chicago material.</p>
<p>vtoodler,</p>
<p>Do you need help reading? What don't you understand about number 4 below, straight from the web site?:</p>
<p>Required for domestic transfer and freshman applicants</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The University of Chicago Financial Aid Application (Form 4) for either freshman or transfer applicants</p></li>
<li><p>The 2005-2006 CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE. University of Chicago's PROFILE Online code is 1832.</p></li>
<li><p>The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (available after January 1st, 2005). Our FAFSA code is 001774.</p></li>
<li><p>Your parents' 2003 federal income tax returns. Do not wait for the 2004 tax returns to become available.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>vtoodler, </p>
<p>You are right. I'm being too tough on you. But, please do tell me what is the problem here? Did you not find the link? Did the section I quote above seem ambiguous to you?</p>
<p>He just wanted to verify the requirements. Maybe you are some form of professional bureaucrat, but sometimes large organizations aren't clear about their requirements.</p>
<p>"Go get a job."</p>
<p>Yea, I thought about that once. But, heck, you gotta get up early, stay awake all day...</p>
<p>Some of us volunteer time to help kids that actually NEED help, not kids that either can't find obvious links on websites or disbelieve what they read. </p>
<p>So, I'm sorry, but I just don't see how U. Chicago could be more obvious or clear about its requirements. And if an applicant is so unsure of him/herself that they need to verify something as plain and obvious as this, then, yes, I DO have doubts about their readiness for college. </p>
<p>You students run a great risk in your advice seeking. That risk is that you may get wrong advice. For instance, if I had told the OP that nothing else was due, and no one else corrected me, where would the original OP be? Once you leave the HS nest, the stakes rise substantially. IMHO, you would be much better served finding the official answer to such questions than seeking cheap and possibly wrong advice from anonymous message boards.</p>
<p>Goodness, gentlemen, calm down a litte. With vitally important operations like college admissions, checking deadlines and such in a couple of different ways is not such a bad idea. Too many students don't check the website and e-mail admissions first. </p>
<p>newmassdad got your attention by being snippy, so that's ok in the long run. And vtoodler was correct in posting for a confirmation, and that's ok, too. In this case, the information in the printed application, and on the admissions pages, and the finaid pages were not entirely consistant. Other universities are even worse. How is this possible? Remember that the people making the decisions and the people responsible for the hard copy materials (printed months ago) and the folks that manage the web ARE MOST LIKELY NOT THE SAME PEOPLE. Neither are the people that answer the phones ... </p>
<p>Just remember, we're all on the same team.</p>
<p>newmassdad,</p>
<p>"IMHO, you would be much better served finding the official answer to such questions than seeking CHEAP and possibly wrong advice from anonymous message boards."</p>
<p>Are you now saying that college confidential doesn't provide accurate advice/information to its users?</p>
<p>"Are you now questioning the integrity of collegeconfidential as a medium for providing information?"</p>
<p>What a strange question. I do hope you understand the difference between Collegeconfidential and the posters that make anonymous postings to public boards within Collegeconfidential? I also hope you understand the difference between integrity and accuracy. One can have high integrity and still be wrong.</p>
<p>"Are you saying that college confidential doesn't provide accurate advice to its users?"</p>
<p>Again, strange, misguided (deliberately?) question. See above.</p>
<p>Chrislo23, if you are naive enough to believe that every post on CC is accurate and honest, and if you believe every poster acts with integrity, then I feel sorry for you. The world is just not that nice. And, if/when you head to college, you will find folks that will...lets just say you should not believe everything you hear or read. But I suspect you already know that.</p>
<p>this is ridiculous, all of you. all i can say is, i certainly hope that none of you will be students at chicago or will be parents of students while I am there.</p>
<p>indytucker: "this is ridiculous, all of you. all i can say is, i certainly hope that none of you will be students at chicago or will be parents of students while I am there."</p>
<p>You can't be serious. If I could watch grown men and women act out third-grade drama like this on a daily basis, you know I would.</p>
<p>i forgot that third grade drama is about the extent of the emotional capacities of at least one chicago acceptee, thanks for reminding me, brine</p>
<p>If you posters here think misleading or wrong information from anonymous posters is "ridiculous", then you are certainly welcome to your opinion. I for one don't agree.</p>
<p>I have seen all too many situations over the years where the "answer" I was told by someone was wrong, whereas the correct information was easy to find.</p>
<p>If my responses were a bit heavy handed, and I offended one of you, then I apologize, but only if you did not get the message that anonymous opinion is fine. Anonymous fact is not. These details are far to important than to rely on someone's memory of what the requirement may have been last year or before. Requirements change. memories fail, or confuse one school with another.</p>
<p>Hello Brinestorm I am well. I am the embodiment of all that is type A. Yeah for me.</p>
<p>Oh boy....such clashing of [s]words...not since the days of 'Wuh' & Flippant Pancake's "election" did i see such appreciation of each other, fellow students and parents alike.....let's keep it going!</p>
<p>Someone really ought to fetch Sister Mary Lucifer before a third-grader gets hurt.</p>
<p>wouldn't that put an end to the third-grade drama you find so captivating?</p>
