<p>Hi guys, I'm having problems filling out the financial aid application for penn. On the first page (I'm a Canadian BTW) they ask for the student's Penn ID. My PennPortal hasn't arrived in the mail yet so I don't know what it is. Since the form asks for 9 digits, I assumed it was the Social Security/Insurance Number, but I can't be sure. Anybody can help me out with this? And BTW has anyone received their PennPortal ID in the mail yet?</p>
<p>i am in the same situation as you. penn's deadline for the forms is 1st of feb. so if it doesnt come by then, then we have a problem. right now we can only wait for the penn portal info.</p>
<p>ok cool, good to know that I'm not alone. I guess we can only wait. Mail from Philly to Vancouver takes like 3 weeks-a month. :(</p>
<p>just to let you know, i received all my stuff this morning...through email! not mail. so not long now.</p>
<p>really? i thought they only send penn portal info through snail mail.</p>
<p>I'm in New Zealand.</p>
<p>that's kind of disturbing. I live in Canada, and I didn't even get an email. I'm getting kinda antsy. Every day the mail doesn't come is a day I can't complete the FinAid App....</p>
<p>I think internationals get emails. When did you submit your app? I submitted mine ages before the deadline.</p>
<p>i think dec. 27-28</p>
