Financial Aid Notification?

@SoapyMango: I didn’t apply to Dartmouth; I have gotten into Cambridge University. My friend has applied to Dartmouth.
if you didn’t send in all documents and haven’t gotten this email, it, as of that moment, means that you have not been accepted. People have gotten this email as late as 17th march, so you might get one in some time. Also, there’s no point worrying! What’s gonna happen is out of your hands
Good luck! I know it’s hard to remain calm in this crazy process, but distract yourself from college admissions as much as you can.

@BetterThanBest Firstly, I’m 99% sure I know who you are from the Dartmouth 2019 Facebook group as you’ve pretty much said the same things on here as there (including more quirky inputs which confirms to me that you’re the same person) and it is abundantly clear that you are applying for Dartmouth this year… let’s not pretend you would be so invested in the admissions of a college you hadn’t event applied too, particularly if you actually already had an offer from Cambridge ahaha

But also, it’s funny that you’re the one to come out with ‘Also, there’s no point worrying! What’s gonna happen is out of your hands’ and ‘distract yourself from college admissions’ when you seem arguably the most concerned whilst also airing statements that will only perpetuate such angst.

Anyway, good luck with your applications, particularly that to Dartmouth and I hope to see you on campus as a fellow '19 :wink:

-_-. I am not a member of dartmouth fb group. neither am I applying to Dartmouth. You can check out my Cornell vs Stanford thread on CC itself which confirms that I indeed have offer from Cambridge. Check ur pm. @Regenerated

The wait…

What I think @BetterThanBest‌ is trying to say is that internationals who were admitted last year were contacted for missing financial aid documents. I know a guy who was asked for his tax returns and he was the only one who got in while the others who did not submit their returns and weren’t asked did not. The recent email certainly seems to be generic and sent to everyone. There seems to be a lot of hype created over a simple email. Btw @BetterThanBest‌ what time did Dartmouth usually ask for missing documents last year? I’m an international too btw

Too prove or disprove this theory we may just have to wait until decision time and on the decision thread ask whether or not people received notification.

@IVyClimber117 and @sallywoot : Go to this thread’s last page and see the replies (the email hasn’t changed at all). It is a 2013 thread and you’l see that all who got the email were accepted. Only one person reported getting accpted without email but I think he didn’t have incomplete documents.

Got the financial aid email – word-for-word the same as @lamabigbug. Unfortunately, mail delivery’s been very unpredictable b/c mailman’s father is very ill, so no likely letter (yet)…

@PosAttitude: when did you get the email?

Does this apply if you did not ask for financial aid at all?

I received the email on March 3rd…still no LL lol. I broke the correlation lol.

@betterthanbest, email arrived 2/26. I called that day to confirm nothing was missing from financial aid app.

does anyone know the answer to the question in #49? trying to help and wondering same thing @nategunawan‌

I just received another financial aid email. Why must they toy with me lol?

No wait! This one is a personalized email asking about my father’s part of the aid. Good sign?

Hey guys, I’ve also been receiving those emails from financial aid (three of them so far). But I also just noticed on my financial aid portal for Dartmouth a new form titled “Verification of Parents’ Assets” – it says my CSS and Fafsa don’t match up completely. Does this mean that since they’re looking at my finances it’s a good sign, or is this something that is automatically generated???

I have received three also. Generic, personal, then generic again lol.

And your numbers will still be fatally flawed because this site is all based on self-reporting and you have absolutely no information about the total number of people who got got such-and-such email and were admitted versus the number of people who got such-and-such email and were not admitted compared to the number of people who did not get such-and-such email and were admitted versus the number of people who did not get such-and-such email and were not admitted. Please take statistics at the earliest opportunity.

@AboutTheSame‌ so my personalized email means nothing :(? I guess I’ll stop worrying about this then. D-day is in a couple weeks anyway.

I have no idea if it means anything. Nor does anyone else. That’s my only point. There is anecdotal evidence that it may be good news, but that’s all it is. Best of luck. Hope you make it to Hanover, It’s a wonderful place.
