No, I wouldn’t say that she’s rejected. If it was all in order that’s great! I think it’s a tell that they’re looking at your info and something is missing that you may still be in the running; but it doesn’t mean you’re rejected if everything is in order.

Maybe the strategy is to be sure you’re missing a document when you first submit so that they have to ask for it later so that there might be a “tell” about your chances of getting in (I kid, I kid).
does anyone have the federal verification form in their FA portal? if you click on it, it’s a dartmouth-specific form that says “name of school/college attending in 2023-2024: dartmouth college.” does this mean anything?
yep, same here… and its always been that way, from the beginning.
They went over this last year and concluded it meant nothing
What do you see when you inspect it? Because I can’t see a date anywhere. Is there a specific place where I should be looking for it?
This is what I wondered also. Anyone have any insight?
Do those docs apply to your tax filing?
I guess what I am saying is that our 1040 is the most basic- we didn’t file any of those schedule forms. Would they be asked for in that case?
Any one received an email from admission office which told you the admission release date?

The financial aid office keeps contacting me, asking new questions every time about my unique family situation. I told them I did not have a document, and they said they will “push my file forward without it”. What do you guys think that means?

I think that sounds like a very good sign! Good luck!
You’re in. Everyone who gets asked for personal financial details gets in
My son graduated from Dartmouth in 2021 and from everything I understood from the financial aid office, this would not be relevant. That is, being a “need blind” institution the financial aid packages and admissions decisions are kept isolated and the 2 sides do not communicate with each other. I believe the financial aid offices job is to create a financial aid package for every applicant who also applied for financial aid.

In the past 10+ years, an email about a week before has ALWAYS resulted in an acceptance. Not a single case of email → reject/WL/defer. Out of the 100/200+ posts on CC/Reddit/Discord, an email has resulted in an acceptance 100% of the time
So there definitely is something going on
Even the general email which told you the decision date?
