Cornell asking for verification worksheet...

<p>Is this an indication of a possible acceptance?</p>

<p>It is a widely recognized fact that Cornell’s financial aid office and admission office are separate. On there it asks you to fill in “Cornell ID”. You should call Cornell for that ID.</p>

<p>It’s unfortunate that this thread doesn’t have an appropriate title:</p>

<p>Thanks, post #24 on the thread answered my question:

Apparently the answer to my question is ‘no.’</p>

5

<p>Turns out I did get accepted to Cornell. :)</p>

6

<p>mhmm. Right.</p>

<p>Cornell asking me for a verification wksht probably wasn’t an indication of my acceptance - whether you believe I was accepted or not - but I was accepted nonetheless. If believing I haven’t been accepted is some sort of rationalization, than by all means go ahead.</p>

8

<p>My question is, is the deadline for the verification worksheet supposed to be 02/15/2010? Because that’s what mine says and 2010 seems a ways away. :&lt;/p>

<p>Mine says Feb 2010 too; it’s most likely a mistake and should be 02/15/2009.</p>

<p>Did you get a likely letter from Cornell? </p>

<p>What school did you apply to in Cornell?</p>

<p>Congragulations on your acceptance.</p>

<p>@simpleperson</p>

<p>Thanks. I applied to ILR as my primary college and to CAS as a secondary college. I got an invite in the mail to DHW (Diversity Hosting Weekend). I thought it was odd that Cornell was offering to fly me from Florida to New York for the event, but when I contacted the admissions office, they said it was only for accepted minority students.</p>

12

<p>Awesome, will you be attending ILR/CAS?</p>

13

<p>Most likely ILR: I want to be a lawyer.</p>

14

<p>Congrats LW! On my To do list it lists : CSS profile, freshmen aid app, and parent prior year federal tax. I submitted these awhile back and met the deadlines. Should I be worried?</p>

15

<p>Question, again: What does it mean if at first you were asked for a verification letter, then it was removed? (The spot on the “To-Do List”, that is.) I <em>DID</em> send in a verification sheet, so that could be it, but I’m worried that it means they just remove it for all the rejected applicants. Thoughts?</p>

16

<p>this verification sheet requires a transcript from the IRS. I’m still waiting to get that to send it in. it would suck going through all this trouble for nothing.</p>

17

<p>Really? For my verif. sheet, I just d/led one, filled it out and sent it in.</p>

18

<p>its this one <a href=“http://finaid.cornell.edu/finaid/forms/upload/Verif-Dependent-09-10.pdf[/url]”>http://finaid.cornell.edu/finaid/forms/upload/Verif-Dependent-09-10.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
on the last 2 pages it gives info about requesting a transcript</p>

19

<p>So if the “to do” list has the request for verification and the 2010 date does that mean that it doesn’t have to be done unless you are accepted? I believe this is part of the paper work that needs to be done if you were randomly selected for verification after submitting your FAFSA - other schools should be asking for verification forms as well. However, this is the first request I have had for an IRS transcript, all the others asked for copies of tax returns (if they didn’t use IDOC). I just saw this “to do” last night after talking with fin aid on 2/18 when they said everything for fin aid was in! I think I’ll do it now and hope for acceptance and have all paper work in and ready for a fin aid package.</p>

<p>So is it a bad sign if they aren’t requesting it?</p>
