<p>So I applied as a transfer to my colleges and got into a few, but my first choice's fin aid office is now requesting my DD-214 (proof of military service/discharge papers). </p>
<ul>
<li>It was never required by them and I was told explicitly by the people at finaid I had everything supplied that was required.<br></li>
<li>The Admissions people did however want one, which I provided especially since I was gunning for a new tuition waiver for veterans that the college is implementing this coming fall.</li>
</ul>
<p>But NOW, two months after everything was fully submitted, financial aid NOW wants a copy of my discharge papers (dd-214). </p>
<p>Can this be taken as anything besides, "I'm in and finaid needs to verify I am a vet before I'm awarded the scholarship"...</p>
<p>Just give it to them</p>
<p>obviously I will turn it in, the question at hand was WHY do they want it now. would a school waste time and money on someone who wasn't accepted (and yes the decisions have been made already, they just haven't been mailed)</p>
<p>You'll get your answer shortly. </p>
<p>You can also call them.</p>
<p>Hakuna matata</p>
<p>I think that means you're in.
I've seen many cases like that before. They ask for your finaid info/ or offer fin aid a few days before the decision is released, and then when you get your decision, you're in.
It may be a bit early to congratulate you, but it's definitely a good sign. Good luck :)</p>
<p>awesome, i was hoping to hear from someone who has seen something like this before...</p>
<p>I know this because I'm actually waiting to get a fin aid offer myself :(
I've read from past years threads that you get an fin offer via email before the official decisions are released... (from this school I applied to) and so far I didn't get one...</p>
<p>i think it can only be good news. although once i had the same letter from a college asking me to send more documents for fin aid consideration, only to get a waitlisted letter eventually. but it might be different for transfer applicants though.</p>
