<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Did everyone here (prospective freshmen, namely) who submitted a FAFSA to USC receive an e-mail from them a month ago, asking you to send in your parent's tax forms/W-2 forms/schedules etc?</p>
<p>Yeah, I know the question's late...I just have an idea : )</p>
<p>yeah i did</p>
<p>whats your idea!?</p>
<p>Haha see the thing is…I’ve only received notices to turn in additional financial aid info/my FAFSA from colleges that were literally about to accept me/accepted me.</p>
<p>So I’m thinking…maybe this means USC is looking at us favorably :D</p>
<p>haha that would be awesome!! hmm well i wonder if anyone else has also received it though? :)</p>
<p>That’s what I’m trying to figure out!! Lol I really hope my idea’s right</p>
<p>I received it also but I doubt that it means anything they probably sent it to everybody who applied for financial aid.</p>
<p>I dunno…I was just looking at some threads similar to mine, and those applicants who received an e-mail notice like we did got into their schools. I’m talking Duke and Princeton here, too</p>
<p>Don’t get your hopes up. I received it and have heard nothing regarding acceptance/rejection. But to put it in perspective, my brother got it also a few years back when he applied SCA, but he did not get accepted. I think they ask everyone for it or maybe it is related to parent income level? I believe it is completely separate from your acceptance. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.</p>
<p>Oh. That sucks. Darn I was getting excited, too.</p>
<p>Nah tornados thanks for the news.</p>
<p>hahaha I figured.</p>
<p>yea it doesnt mean anything. their financial aid office isn’t even connected in any way to admissions</p>
<p>Requesting this info has to be a positive sign for you guys…congrats.</p>
<p>We received no such request. :-(</p>
<p>lesliehr-if you’ve already turned in all the required financial documents, you wouldn’t get a request.</p>
<p>and i just got my request to turn those forms in yesterday.</p>
<p>Considering the fact that its a rather large school and they need to get financial aid letters out as soon as possible I think its safe to say that it has no bearing on whether or not you got in. I think they’re just being preemptive so they don’t get swamped after acceptance letters get out. Don’t mean to be a negative nancy hahaha. Btw, they asked me for a bunch of my financial stuffs a while back so I really just think they wanna get the process started.</p>
<p>hello21: My FAFSA and CSS/profile had been submitted a while ago…however I was never requested to send copies of W2’s and other tax documents. AND my status still says “Thank you for submitting your online application”.
I can’t wait for all of this nonsense to be over…I’m so tired of scrutinizing everything (which is my fault completely)!!</p>
<p>Lol lesliehr I feel the same way…I’m scrutinizing every single little thing about USC and getting gray hairs in the process.</p>
<p>Every school I applied to requested financial documents by a certain deadline so I don’t think it has any bearing on acceptance.</p>
