<p>tawarren95, I would think that the most of the decisions have been made at this point. I also think that financial aid office only reviews the received materials if the applicant is advanced to the final stage. I don’t believe the financial aid office will review 30,000 applications. They will review 3,000 instead. “Received - review in progress” leaks some info.</p>
<p>Why would they single handedly allow students to figure out their decision based on their financial aid status? That would be way too blatent- let me know if I’m wrong though.</p>
<p>I have a complete financial aid application and all my IDOC items and Title IV thing are in review. Only my FAFSA and CSS are satisfied.</p>
<p>How many people also have this status ^</p>
<p>My FA requirements are all received and satisfied.</p>
<p>Were they ever reviewing?</p>
<p>yes, switched to satisfied earlier this week</p>
<p>Same for me. They were received and under review for a while (like a week and a half) and are now received and satisfied.</p>
<p>Alright, good to know. And there were people who never went through the “review” stage correct?</p>
<p>^That would be us rejectees!</p>
<p>@HONORLIONS yeah but you didnt get all of your stuff in lol. You’re prematurely anxious.</p>
<p>Neither did a lot of people who got the ‘in review’ thing. </p>
<p>And I like to consider it realistic. I got my hopes up big time with a similar email from UChicago (also had a great correlation), and unlike 70% of CC, I didn’t even get a waitlist spot. Don’t mean to cry about it, but what we’re doing is 100% speculation anyway.</p>
<p>@honor sorry to hear bout UC. It’s tough and I don’t consider it crying at all. But, another factor that makes me weary is that if this was a true indicator- wouldn’t “in review” be less frequent? I feel like we’ve seen too much “inreview” to be serious canidates. Serious canidates are a small minority.</p>
<p>If you look back, for a number of years actually, acceptance rates for CC users (at least according to what they report in those ‘results threads’), are significantly higher than actual acceptance rates. This is the only group of people in the world that would consider a 2050 SAT score ‘uncompetitive’ for their top schools. So it should only make sense that we have a greater number of ‘serious candidates’. </p>
<p>Also - wait, you guys got the ‘in review’ status for a certain period of time, and then it just went back to ‘satisfied’? Hmm… Interesting. Probably doesn’t change our original hypothesis though.</p>
<p>@honor True. All points are valid. And yes, it doesn’t change our original hypoth. I’m assuming all go from reviewed to satisfied after a while.</p>
<p>Hi. So I have the in review for all of my documents except for the CSS profile and fafsa. Also, though I am selected for verification, Dartmouth has not emailed me
About it. Who knows. Good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>@johnyenglish, good points. </p>
<p>Y’all mentioned switching from Review in Progress to satisfied - could just mean ‘review’ is just them adding it to one’s file/system rather than actually reviewing it to build a package. And some may assume theirs went straight to satisfied, but you might’ve missed the ‘Review in Progress.’ </p>
<p>Honestly, this thread will only be helpful for the people next year so that they can see any correlations and patterns we won’t see until results are out.</p>
<p>To those who’ll be reading this next year, my current status is “review in progress.” I personally don’t think it means much since Dartmouth is need-blind, but I guess we’ll all find out in two weeks.</p>
<p>I called two weeks ago inquiry about “review in progress” status. I was told that it means received but no one has reviewed it yet. That was two weeks ago… Only seven working days left for D day… It means a lot today.</p>
<p>So doesn’t that mean that “review in progress” is a bad sign this late in the process? If Dartmouth was telling the truth, of course. I’ve had my IDOC in the “review in progress” status since Feb. 28, FAFSA and CSS are satisfied.</p>
