My parent tax returns plus W2s are still missing on the SISS portal lol (all the docs have been processed on the IDOC for at least a week)… I’m really concerned bc I feel like getting into duke and not being able to pay for it is even worse than getting rejected. I called the fin aid office and they said that you’ve done what you done and that the financial aid estimation could be delayed by up to a week after decisions (assuming I magically get in) which sucks but oh well.
@junior1818 I wouldn’t be worried if the finaid office people told you that you’d done all you could. it took almost a week for my w-2 and parent fed tax returns to be processed and appear on my portal, so it might just be taking a few more days for yours. otherwise, the finaid office may just not have linked the files with your finaid file yet (that’s what happened with my css profile until about a week ago)
Can’t imagine that Duke won’t send an email in advance - they always seem to do that. I bet it will be tonight advising that decisions will be next Friday, 12/15
When you guys applied to Duke, was there a spot on the application to indicate whether you were a first-gen college student, or no? I went back through and saw nothing.
What determines a first-gen college student? My mom has some college but never graduated. I’m assuming I wouldn’t be considered one since she did go to college.
My college counselor told me that there is a good chance that decisions will come out on Thursday, but we should expect a heads up email 24-48 hours before decisions come out.
