<p>Hi I just activated my Cornell account and stuff...</p>
<ol>
<li>Am I supposed to not see anything listed under To-Do-List?</li>
<li>Am I not supposed to have a NetID? Because that's what I have to enter to view my Financial Aid Application</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Not sure about 1), but for 2), you only get NetID if you get accepted. I think you’re supposed to use your applicationID for the meantime.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. How do I check my Fin Aid Status though?</p>
<p>Just check it later (as in a month later…). It should work then.</p>
<p>Ok! Thanks!</p>
<p>o_O @misterpresident, sorry for the digression but have you already gotten your NetID?</p>
<p>Nah I haven’t. I don’t get my cornell.edu e-mail until like…April lol</p>
<p>Just telling everyone, your net ID is the same thing as the Cornell ID you got after you applied.</p>
<p>So… are we sure that we can’t view the Financial Aid To-Do list for now?</p>
<p>No, we can. I just did. Like legit, just looked at it 5 mins ago.</p>
<p>It says I’m missing 4 items. But, they didn’t have time to process all of the **** that it must have gotten in the last couple of days.</p>
<p>Just to clear up teamfrangela92’s point - the FA netID is your received application ID. After you are accepted, you get a new netID. NetID and ApplicantID are NOT the same.</p>
<p>But I think your NetID is the same as the last part of the ApplicantID without the app10 part? My summer college NetID is part of my ApplicantID, so I just assumed? Can anyone verify this?
Also, I tried to get onto the Financial Aid To-Do List thing and this weird page came up that said “No current to do information item found” - there was also a red “processing” sign flashing in the right hand corner…anyone know what this means?</p>
<p>Mine worked with the app10 part.
I typed in app10-??*** [? = letter; * = number]
Then my password.</p>
<p>And it worked. Telling me im missing stuff. -_-</p>
<p>@cline: I think that means all of your stuff has been recieved and the processing means that as a whole, COrnell is still processing financial aid info.</p>
<p>When I applied ED, I got the same response as soadquake981 did, and it worked when I checked it later.</p>
<p>@mister: Thanks for clearing that up =]</p>
<p>Okay, I am finally able to check it. Just to clarify - does “Parent Prior Year Federal Tax” mean 2008 tax returns? I don’t think it means 2009 tax returns, because those aren’t due until later, and the due date listed in my FA to-do list is 1/2.</p>
<p>I mailed it in a few weeks ago… I hope they didn’t lose it.</p>
<p>Yepp. 2008 Tax Returns @soad.</p>
<p>And they are still processing everything, so give em a couple of days.</p>
<p>Applicant ID is what your NetID will be once accepted plus “app(insert two digit year of application)-”</p>
