<p>We received our reviewed finaid letter yesterday after they reviewed our 2008 taxes. True to their published initiative, the eliminated all the loans and gave us a very nice package. Cornell is amazing</p>
<p>should the transfer students mail in the Federal Verification Wksht? its not due till 3/31/2010 but should i mail it in?</p>
<p>Has anyone else still not received their package? How am I supposed to decide without it haha</p>
<p>dragon, they will not send you your financial aid package utnil you send in your fed verification worksheet (i believe. they wouldnt send mine) send it in ASAP!</p>
<p>woohoo i called today and they said my appeal was approved and my grant increased! so at least now it’s guaranteed to be better than the 11k they were giving me. and they are still finalizing my 2008 tax return review, so it should go up even more after that. at vanderbilt for example, my 17k shot up to 24k after they reviewed 2008 taxes.</p>
<p>really even as for transfer students? I called the financial aid office today and they said I was all set. Even though it said that the due date for that fed verification worksheet is due on 3/31/2010?</p>
<p>I also asked them when can i expect my financial aid package, and they said around mid-may</p>
<p>congrats ananya!</p>
<p>is anyone still waiting? cuz i am, and im worried</p>
<p>I called today, and they said mine was sent out on Tuesday, but I didn’t get it. She then offered to e-mail it to me, and I just got it. 1k in grants ftw.</p>
<p>does anyone know if i have to turn in the Federal Verification Wksht? it said it is due on 3/31/09… Im a transfer student btw…</p>
<p>yes the federal verification is ESSENTIAL…</p>
<p>in fact all PARTS are essential…</p>
<p>Really? Y does it say its due on 3/31/2010??</p>
<p>Fin Aid Today!!! I got ~$50k in Grants/Scholarships. All thats left is the $2320 Student Contribution. Looks like I’m going to Cornell!</p>
<p>idk but if you read it it says that they wont process your financial aid until you send the fed verification in</p>
<p>what!!! that is going to take so long for me to get that tax return… I didn’t call and request it yet…</p>
<p>When I called financial aid office, they said I got everything needed and that I can expect my financial aid around mid may… Do you know if I can get the tax return within a day?</p>
<p>i doubt it. when i ordered mine i asked if i could pay to get it like express delivered or somethng and the guy laughed at me.</p>
<p>where are you guys getting your tax return from?</p>
<p>I would call FinAid on monday morning and ask them specifically if they need the verification stuff to continue processing FinAid or just before they will release any funds.</p>
<p>Each school is different. Since the FinAid award letter from Cornell is just an estimate, they may only need the verification stuff sometime before they will release any funds to the burser’s office to pay your bills. Other schools won’t even send an award letter until verification is complete, but not many are like that. It also can depend on if the feds are requesting the verification or if the school is requesting the verification</p>
<p>dang man just ordered mine over the phone and it takes 10-15 days to come to my house… y does it take so long? i hate this :(</p>
<p>Seriously, this is the perfect day to show off my new shirt, but everyone in New Jersey got it except me :(.</p>
