<p>On my financial aid portal, it says that i have two outstanding items: U.S. proof of citizenship and my selective service verification. Knowing the slim chances I have at these schools, I want to wait on giving them these two items. One, it would save me the trouble if i were rejected. Two, if i am accepted, I would then forward these items to them, at which point the FA office can calculate my offer. Is this a good idea?</p>
<p>Depends…</p>
<p>Yes they can then calculate your offer, but I am not sure when you would get it. It would certainly take them a week, though probably at least 2. You then have far less time to weigh up your offers.</p>
<p>If you get accepted you should be ready to send them these things ASAP, else you may only be getting a Finaid estimate in late April.</p>
<p>First- Yale has a Financial Aid portal for RD applicants? How do you access it?</p>
<p>Second- The same thing was on my Brown FA portal. Apparently-they only require proof of citizenship for accepted students. <em>IF one is accepted, they should send proof of citizenship</em></p>
