financial aid request

<p>We just received a package from financial aid stating our application status is incomplete due to verification required. It is dated 3/12/07. They do state that "this review is unrelated to your admission status. You will be notified of your admission status by the end of March. In order for us to continue processing your financial aid application, you must submit the following items to the financial aid office:"</p>

<p>Now I do not mind jumpint through all the hoops but I am curious, could this mean she is in? I mean with the amount of applications they have why would they go through all the applications and do this?</p>

<p>I got one today too. I think that they do random verifications as a way to varify the consistancy/accuracy of financial information submitted on the FAFSA.</p>

<p>Yup I talked to the Financial Aid office the other day because I just filed my 06-07 FAFSA and I need a loan. Instead of getting a loan, I get to fill out a stupid parental verification form that takes a month to process. According to them, this happens to about 1/3 of the students.</p>

<p>I just got one today as well. When I first saw it I got nervous as I thought they thought I cheated on the financial aid or something, and that I was getting a little mini-audit or something. It'd be great if this means admission, but I doubt it :(</p>

<p>Does anyone know if there's a deadline for this? I mean, if the deadline is after March 29th, and you find out that day that you got rejected, then you don't have to do this, correct?</p>

<p>I felt and thought the same thing you did Azure326. There isn't really a deadline but it says that if you turn the forms in within two weeks of the date the letter was sent, you will know of your aid package before May 1st, which is when the letter of intent is due. And yeah, if you dont get in, then there is no point in sending them the forms.</p>

<p>My son received the same thing last year at this time and was subsequently accepted at UCB.</p>

<p>I would fill it out and submit ASAP. Otherwise, if accepted, you won't know what your FA package is in time to make comparisons with other colleges' FA packages.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
