<p>Alright, future applicants.</p>

<p>I got the generic email on Feb. 25, turned in my IDOC right around 3/1, then everything was Received and Satisfied as of 3/7. No likely letter, no further emails, and no other documents requested (no business tax returns or verification forms or anything of the like).</p>

<p>Aaaand… accepted. Dear, sweet, baby Jesus. I’m going to college.</p>

<p>For what it’s worth, I got almost the exact same email on the same day from Columbia, and I ended up with a WL there. <em>shrug</em></p>

<p>For future reference, I got a generic FA email on Feb 25th and also got into Dartmouth. I’d guess that an email means youre prob in the final stages and facing either acceptance or a spot on the waitlist. Good luck to all</p>

<p>So here’s the update: I was rejected.</p>

<p>My CSS and FAFSA were both listed as “Received and Satisfied” sometime in early March. However, I never sent in my IDOC information. I also never got the “generic” email that the others on this board mentioned, which was probably the biggest tip off. As others have suggested, the email regarding missing info probably meant either a waitlist or an acceptance.</p>

<p>I really hope this thread helps future Dartmouth applicants. Good luck!</p>

<p>Okay, so I got no financial aid emails, hahahaha. And I was just accepted!!! So, to future applicants, DON’T FREAK OUT!</p>

<p>I only got the generic financial aid email and didn’t have any missing documents. As of yesterday, everything but the CSS profile was listed as being “in review.” I didn’t file the FAFSA because I’m an international student. I ended up being waitlisted.</p>

<p>I never got any fa email, but I had all my required docs. Everything was listed as received and under review except the css, which was satisfied. </p>

<p>Ended up waitlisted</p>

<p>Sent from my SGH-T959P using CC</p>

<p>Morning after acceptance, and I got ANOTHER ‘generic’ FA email again. Probably should send in my materials…I just didn’t expect to get in lol. I think this proves it all!</p>

<p>Yeah, FWIW, I just got another email too (they want my student tax return, which I’m not filing).
And @harborcereal, maybe you didn’t get an email because you didn’t have missing items? I don’t know, just a possibility for next year’s applicants to see.</p>

<p>I was accepted after getting a personalized email from one of the financial officers requesting specific set of documents(I also received a generic email asking me to check my financial aid application status.) I guess the sheer number of similar cases gives strength to the “financial aid emails allude to acceptances” theory.</p>
