Cornell Class of 2020 Regular Decision Discussion Thread

@glasshours Just go to idoc.collegeboard.org and it’ll tell you to log in using your SSN and birth date. Then it’ll tell you the documents required by each school.

please don’t tell me it costs money because the lord knows I’m so broke after the css

@CCSenioritis IDOC is free.

I’m so grateful my fee was waived for CSS. As I’m no longer free/reduced lunch eligible with the 2015 tax year, I thought I would have to pay. College Board gave me a pleasant surprise.

Good lord, I wish they had waived mine! I make well under 40k a year (which is the cutoff) but because I’m an independent student (I didn’t have to enter my parent’s info, and I’m 25) I didn’t get a waiver.

The policy makes no sense. I generally hate College Board.

@mjstewart1224 My family income is $72,000 for 2015. It was $50,000 in 2014 (…I don’t know why they asked for 2014 info as well). But with a family of 6 and no assets. So that’s probably why I got waived.

@Rohitmohit and @PWANG96 : My daughter’s likely letter came via email 2 weeks before the official notifications came out. Also, she wasn’t ever notified to set up an alumni interview. Since all of her friends were contacted for interviews and she wasn’t, she thought she had no chance of acceptance. It turned out that she was accepted and didn’t need the interview and was the only one who received a likely letter. It was a very pleasant surprise!

When I log into the College Board (we did get a notification from them), there is only one school listed on the IDOC section and it’s not Cornell. ANyone else dealing with this?

@CAMidwestMom Same here. I contacted CB yesterday so they’ll get back to me tomorrow or Saturday.

@Ngzk07 Well, I realized that I hadn’t actually submitted the CSS to Cornell, so maybe that explains it, lol. I’m glad I didn’t because I submitted estimates to our EA schools and now I can submit the actual numbers to Cornell. I am hoping now that it’s submitted, it will link to the IDOC thing, but I did also write Cornell to make sure. Sigh. There is too much to keep track of here.

Cornell still isn’t on my list of schools in IDOC and I did submit a CSS profile to them. But I do think we’re supposed to be waiting for an official email from CB before going on IDOC.

I got my official email this morning but still no update on the list. Oh well lol!

I got the IDOC email, but only one school was listed and it isn’t Cornell. That school’s deadline isn’t until mid-March, but since Cornell’s is a lot sooner, I hope this gets figured out.

What’s the IDOC everyone is talking about?

There was an extra form on the CSS yesterday for Cornell was that it?
I only just sent the CSS profile yesterday for Cornell so I’m kinda lost…

@Ngzk07 Yeah @Leicisbest whats the IDOC

@Leicisbest Cornell requires the tax documents to be sent to them from IDOC. https://idoc.collegeboard.org/idoc/

@Ngzk07 Are we supposed to get an email that tells us to complete the form?

@Leicisbest Yes collegeboard sends out an email telling you to log onto IDOC because some of your schools use the service.

@Ngzk07 I haven’t gotten that email yet and I’m guessing the deadline is the 15th for all financial forms?

I’m guessing that’s not a good sign. Or are there others in my boat?

@Leicisbest I am in your boat.

…my dad got the email. I didn’t. That’s strange.
