<p>Did anyone else get a small piece of mail about financial aid from UVA today? Its not even in an envelope and I'm sure they send it out to all applicants, but I was just checking if anyone else got it.</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing! I got it about a week and a half ago, and so did a couple of my friends, but a friend of mine said she didn't get one..but maybe mine just came earlier in the mail? I'm not sure. I really hope it is something!</p>
<p>Thanks for responding so quickly!!! Its just this small yellow piece of paper right? I really hope it means something too!! Lets see what some other people say on this forum...</p>
<p>No problem! Yeah when I saw it, my heart jumped lol. But it's probably nothing..?</p>
<p>I received it also and had my DAD complete the SIS and fax the taxes as it said. Anyone know what it means?</p>
<p>I took it for what it was: a reminder to complete requirements for FA. I think everyone got one. It was easy to miss, small junk mail looking card.</p>
<p>What is the SIS? Is that the UVA application online?</p>
<p>Its the Student Information System. Once they process your application, they send you the following to followup on any to do's you have left and you can check status.</p>

<p>I received one too...I'm pretty sure it's just something they send out to everyone who applies for financial aid. Although I received it after the March 1 deadline, so it doesn't really help me now. Good thing I had already sent in my stuff...I hope they got it all!</p>
<p>D got one about a week before the deadline. We're hoping it's a sign too, but won't get our hopes up just yet.</p>
