<p>I need to submit my tax return via a U Chicago account, but my daughter just submitted her Common App and an account could not be created until the Common App was submitted. How long do we need to wait to create the account? The deadline for submission of the documents is today! Will she get an e-mail with info for creating the account?</p>
<p>This is the CSS. The deadline is today. I am freaking out!</p>
<p>Yup, just saw that, my bad. The UChicago website says it suggests you do it by today, though it is not required. </p>
<p>Quote from their website:
Because each financial aid package is tailored to the student and family’s particular financial profile, we require a few forms in order to offer you an appropriate package. Although you may apply for financial aid at any time, we recommend that you apply for aid when you apply for admission in order to receive an aid decision in a timely manner. The information below is for U.S. citizens or permanent residents applying for aid. Non-U.S. applicants can find information on the international financial aid page.</p>
<p>Also they extended their EA deadline to the 8th, so presumably they would also extend their CSS submission deadline.</p>
<p>The Common App was extended because of technical issues with the Common App. There were no such issues with the CSS. I just noticed that it may take 24 - 48 hours to get the e-mail with the pin. I feel sick. My daughter is going to be extremely upset that I did not make the deadline. I never feel comfortable faxing or mailing documents with sensitive info, so I really wanted to directly upload it to her account. Now it is too late. She feels her chances are always lower if things are not done by the deadline.</p>
<p>No worry here.</p>
<p>I had faxed the tax return to them last year way late - in December after being notified missing documents. My D got in EA regardless.</p>
<p>They have need blind policy so that missing tax return does not affect the decision at all. But it is better to be sooner than later if the deadline is passed.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for that info.<br>
I did not realize what the CSS deadline was until seeing this thread and spent all day freaking out about it, very glad to know submitting a touch late will be okay.</p>
