<p>Has anybody noticed this trend?</p>
<p>They should not be similar. There might be a trend but it would/should not exist. The school states that they work seperately.</p>
<p>Has anyone been contacted with missing financial aid forms? I have not, my forms are not complete and I'm worried.</p>
<p>me neither. but i am in a state of nirvana and ready for rejection =)</p>
<p>The only thing I got from Yale as far as fin aid goes was a letter from that college board IDOC thing saying that they needed me to send copies of tax returns, etc. But I think everyone gets that after they send in the CSS Profile.</p>
<p>oh, i got that IDOC thing in the email a while ago, but only school that requested that thru the IDOC in my case was harvard! i was just really curious about why none of the other schools were listed!
what do u suppose this means???</p>
<p>i naturally thought that harvard was the only school that used the IDOC service, so i sent tax forms to IDOC for harvard, and sent copies to all the other schools directly. god, this makes me nervous</p>
<p>Each school is a bit different. My D applied to four Ivies, three private Us, and three U/Cal campuses. The U/Cals and NYU only wanted a FAFSA. All the private Us (including Ivies) wanted the College Board form, along with tax returns for 2004 and a bunch of other snoopy info. Yale wanted the tax return via IDOC--the others wanted them directly.</p>
<p>Either way, don't sweat it. If you're worried, just call the Financial Aid office and ask if they have everything they need. </p>
<p>As far as correlation between financial aid and admissions--who knows? Who cares? You've done evrething you can do at this point; knowing won't change the outcome.</p>
<p>susu - i love your answer! = D</p>
