<p>Okay i know everyone has been seeing these everywhere… alot of people have been getting emails asking for fin aid forms and wondering if this has anything to do w/ admissions. But… i can’t help myself. </p>
<p>I just got an email from Penn asking for my tax documents… but on the penn website it says: </p>
<p>Parent & Student 2005 federal income tax returns, all schedules, pages and W-2 forms</p>
<pre><code>Attach a Tax I.D. Form to each return
Deadline: Preferably April 15 and no later than May 1, 2006
</code></pre>
<p>soo… why would they be asking for this now when they aren’t due until after you find out if you get in? i am inclined to believe this is a GOOD sign (not a definite acceptance, but it can’t be a BAD sign, right?).</p>
<p>on the other hand, i have already been accepted to two schools and neither of them asked for forms beforehand so i know it isn’t ALWAYS the case… anyway this is not helping my obsession!</p>
<p>umm JUST saw the post at the bottom of the page about this topic. anyway if anyone has any ideas about this in general, not just for penn i would be interested to hear what you have to say!</p>
<p>so class of 2011 applicants...purposefully delay some tax forms...and see if they request them at this time in order to guess the decision..lol</p>
<p>haha yes GOOD PLAN. except i didn't "delay" these... they aren't even due yet.</p>
<p>I continue receiving from Upenn to encourage me to send them in my family's missing financial documents even after I replied that my family had difficulties to file in in time and might have to withdraw my financial application this year. Upenn is really nice.</p>
<p>I just received an email this morning:</p>
<p>"....We can give you a preliminary aid notice with the CSS/Profile application and the Form 6. Tax returns are required at a later date, April 15th. However, you can still submit the Tax returns at a later date but your financial does not become final until we receive Federal Tax Returns and W2's....."</p>
<p>My dad said it might be a good sign with the admission that they want us to send in these information even after April 1 and he said that he would try best to complete tax filing before April 15. </p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
