<p>am i in trouble with every single college i've applied to..?????? omg freaking out...</p>
<p>Colleges are legally required to verify your ability to pay for the first year of college before they issue your visa documents (I-20 or DS-2010). That’s what the Certification of Finances is used for. Some colleges want the Certification with your initial application, while others don’t ask for it until after you have been admitted and decided to attend. </p>
<p>If you have applied to colleges that wanted it with the initial application, I suggest you let them know that you only now noticed the requirement and will give them the form ASAP. (They don’t really need the form to review your application, but you also don’t want to land in the “can’t pay for his education” auto-reject pool. It’s probably fine if the form is late, as long as they know that it’s still coming.) </p>
<p>All colleges I know give the form to their applicants for free. You can also find it on the net: just google “Certification of Finances”. Collegeboard does NOT distribute the form to college applicants; they only sell it to colleges.</p>
<p>thanks so much for the reply 
you helped calm me down a bit haha… do you know if we have to show that we have enough money to pay for each year completely or if we’re planning to borrow money from the bank etc… </p>
<p>ugh so confused :(</p>
<p>To OP:
just fyi, but do you perhaps attend 민사고?</p>
<p>haha noo i don’t
i know people that do though :)</p>
<p>if you need ISCF, PM me…</p>

If you don’t have the cash sitting in a bank account, you should get a letter from your bank that they are ready to loan you a certain amount of money (contingent upon your acceptance to a US university, if applicable).</p>
