Has Columbia downloaded YOUR Fafsa yet?

<p>When I log into my application status page, it says that mine has not yet been received. I know that it says: </p>

<p>"PLEASE NOTE: We do not begin downloading FAFSAs until late February."</p>

<p>But isn't it late February by now?? I mean, its March in less than three days!</p>

<p>So, is YOUR fafsa downloaded yet?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Nope.</p>

<p>tenchar.</p>

<p>Nope. They're pretty stacked this year with apps though, so I'm not surprised. They delayed releasing our admission application tracking info by a few days.</p>

<p>No. They haven't registered my midyears either...</p>

<p>No midyears either. Do they register on that tracking site, anyone got them up?</p>

<p>Yep. Just got checked off today.</p>

<p>But they're still missing my teacher B rec, although my teacher faxed it in again.</p>

<p>where can you tell whether they have your midyear or not?</p>

<p>I don't see any message telling whether they do or do not have it in..</p>

<p>thanks! :)</p>

<p>They processed my FAFSA yesterday. I'm hoping they'll just email you or something if they don't have your Midyear because it doesn't seem to be on the online list.</p>

<p>I called about the midyear report and they said it, sort of halfheartedly, no they didn't see it either and maybe to fax it. But you're right, I don't see it on any list online. That''s why I've been asking if other people DO have it on their lists. Oh well, will talk to guidance on Monday.</p>

<p>Has anyone had their tax forms processed? I sent mine in Feb 23. with delivery confirmation and still it says not received!</p>

<p>Same. I sent mine in around Feb 15, and it still says "not received." They're probably still a little behind or something, I wouldn't worry away. They might not even have started processing them yet.</p>

<p>the same for my D... tax 2008 + proof of citizenship are still " not received" even though i sent those items 3 times by mail, by fax, by fedex!</p>

<p>yeaaa, my tax forms were sent in 3 weeks ago and it's still not received....I've been trying to fax it to them, but their fax machine is ALWAYS busy.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure they're just behind in processing... If they've downloaded your FAFSA already, they have enough to start a file on you I guess. And its not like they'll deny you financial aid because your packet was received a few days late.</p>

<p>I sent in my FAFSA around February 16, and they just recently put it up as received. I faxed the tax returns and other forms on March 2nd (the due date) and checked today, and they have received it. PS: the fax number on the site isn't the right one, apparently.</p>

<p>what is the real fax number?? Thanks</p>

<p>212-854-8223.
It works.</p>

<p>^ but in that financial aid email they sent us, they said all financial materials should be faxed to 212-854-5353....so is that number wrong too? well no wonder it didn't work. </p>

<p>LaVieEnChocolat: what student tax non-filer form??? there was a Columbia specific form we had to file out if I didn't file taxes? oh geez. I've been all over the financial aid site, but must've missed that...could you give a link? thx</p>

<p>Yummycheese: i don't know why some schools( and not others) are asking for that form but i believe it has something to do with the IDOC package..
" A non-tax filer form" will be required for anyone( student, not parent) not filling a tax return for 2008. the non-tax filer form can be downlaoded from our website at <a href="http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/finaid"&gt;www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/finaid&lt;/a&gt;" . Please submit by March 2nd,09!!!! fax : 2128545353.. this is the message on my D's checklist.. if the fax is not working try that one: 2128548223! i'm going this morning to fax it, already 3 days late... good luck!</p>

<p>UGH. this whole faxing thing is driving me up the wall. The 854-8223 number keeps saying FAX FAILED. then the 854-5353 number has "NO ANSWER" </p>

<p>i give up. </p>

<p>Thanks for all the help LaVieEnChocolat</p>
