<p>I have a question. The other day I emailed Harvard Financial Aid in reference to a problem that had arisen with the Social Security Administration in regards to my SSN and I got back an email from him (Chris) and he stated in the email that he would be in touch with me later in the year if I decided to matriculate (keep in mind that this was in mid March). I am curious to see if anyone else has had him reply with such comments? Is this indicative of something else? </p>
<p>I figured this would be the most appropriate thread to place my question in.</p>
<p>i duno, i hope not...</p>
<p>Thats a pretty crazy response, good job if its true, if not, you should slap Mister Plumb for juking you. He might have meant in the event that you are accepted though, who knows. These ppl are all over the place and have been working for a month. Most likely theyre just like eff it</p>
<p>First letter dated 3/16</p>
<p>*Photocopies of your parents complete 2004 federal income tax return, including all schedules filed (the 2003 copy we received was missing schedules -- please send these to complete the 2003 tax return, if 2004 returns still remain unavailable)</p>
<p>*Photocopies of your (student's) complete 2004 federal income tax return, including all schedules filed</p>
<p>*Photocopies of your parents 2004 W-2 Forms</p>
<p>then after he evaluated those I got a second on 3/22</p>
<p>*Parents Business/Farm Supplement ( <a href="http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/downloads/0506BusinessFarmSupplement1.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/downloads/0506BusinessFarmSupplement1.pdf</a> )</p>
<p>*Partnership tax return (IRS Form 1065) from parents business, "xxx Ltd. Partnership"</p>
<p>(I xxx the actual name of the partnership)</p>
<p>I have 1510 (800 V) - various government internships and congressional page junior year. Interview went very well if that means anything.</p>
<p>It looks like everyone on this thread is extremely well qualified but then so is almost everyone on CC....</p>
<p>Completely unspecific email from Plumb on the 21st. Was told by FAO that it was probably sent in error, since my app is complete, and the nonspecific is sent to incoming students.</p>
<p>I got a letter I think from CB Profile saying I needed to send in my tax returns, my parents and non custodial. I think it had Harvards name on it though. Did anyone else get one from College Board but nothing directly from the Harvard FAO?</p>
<p>my boy got nothing from FAO but he got College board stuff...i duno what that means for you guys</p>
