I can see my Berkeley FIN AID package!!!!

<p>congrats!!! now the good thing is you can compare your Financial aid packages with all your schools and right when they release the decisions you can SIR right then and there :)</p>

<p>What document exactly did the financial aid office request of you guys?</p>

<p>I am trying to figure out if it’s a document one would normally submit o ly if one is going to attend the school. Or if I too may have forgotten thisndocument and I should be expecting an email. </p>

<p>:D Tia!</p>

<p>It depends on the person, it’s not just one specific document.</p>

<p>I reported that I have a brother who is in college, and they need proof of that. Also, fafsa couldn’t verify that I am a citizen (which I am), so I need to provide proof of that.</p>

<p>Is there ANY way that I can see how much they are offering me for financial aid, yet they DON’T accept me?</p>

<p>I don’t want to get too excited only to be let down on friday</p>

<p>I really really doubt it! Like others have commented and myself, I don’t see why FA would waste their time doing all of this when you’re not getting accepted!</p>

<p>*cries. I didn’t get one! i feel so much frustration lol.
but congrats : D sounds exciting for youu!</p>

<p>The email is a simple audit that they do , and I’m pretty sure most other universities do it too.</p>

<p>Usually what they ask for is copies of the recent tax return , w2, and citizenship verification.</p>

<p>I don’t think this is a bad sign for people who didn’t get the email, only that it’s a good sign for those who did.</p>

<p>All my financial documents are in order, so I wouldn’t get this email even if I got accepted and I have no CalNetID so I can’t check any way. </p>

<p>If only they had a “register your CalNetID” using your application ID web page somewhere.</p>

<p>I received the email, too. This email makes the wait a little more bearable. I just hope it isn’t giving me false hopes :(!</p>

<p>OK…go to your Berkeley App
Make sure you are logged out
Down at the bottom click on “login w/Calnet ID”
USE YOUR APP # as your NetID and then your password from your UCB app as your ‘passphrase’
Then…hit enter…the pop-up says "you are now required to choose a self-selected CALNET ID before continuing, click ok to login to the “change CALNET ID app.”…I got the pop-up, does anybody else?
p.s. if you put the wrong id you won’t get the popup if you put the wrong password you will get the pop-up…try putting all the correct stuff in and see what happens…I am still not able to create one but it is exciting that we can get this far!!!</p>

<p>Yeah, I got the popup, too. Cool.</p>

<p>i got the popup…</p>

<p>Is there anyone who does not get the popup?</p>

<p>yeah anyone? i got the pop up but i am fairly certain this doesnt mean anything.
edit: anyone have a Calnet id? Is there any correlation to your PIN # and your app id? last 4 digits perhaps?</p>

<p>dont get a popup not sure if im in the right place it says Calnet ID not Net ID?</p>

<p>Sounds like you’re doing it correctly. Anyone else? This experiment needs more subjects.</p>

<p>I get the popup… “You are now required to choose a self-selected CalNet ID before continuing. Click OK to log into the Change CalNet ID application.”</p>

<p>I got the popup when I entered my application ID… And I already have a CalNet ID…</p>

<p>I think the system is just looking over the credentials and seeing if the entered ID is a 7-digit number then seeing if it matches an applicant.</p>

<p>OKay I get it as well, this is not true at all!</p>

<p>i don’t think the popup really means anything…i typed in a random number for the calnet id and a random password and i still got the popup</p>
