I’m an international applicant, and I had already submitted my CSS PROFILE before the February 1 deadline. I thought that was it.
However, I opened the portal today, and the financial aid requirements section said that I needed to submit my parents’ tax returns (which I didn’t realize I had to submit).
Anyway, I uploaded them via self service.
Will my late submission have a negative impact? I didn’t get any email from the financial aid office.
@mundanewarrior It’s good that you submitted the profile before the deadline. Give them a call on Monday, or email if calling is going to be difficult.
@paveyourpath Well, it does show up as “fulfilled” now. And I had already sent them an email on Friday since I couldn’t find the upload option (I was too panicked).
One would expect a top university like Brown to email applicants regarding pending requirements. This stuff should be automated.
Glad to hear it’s “fulfilled” at least you know they have it so you are all set! I am surprised they did not email as well but now that you know they aren’t emailing, check the portal every few days in case they request something additional from you in the coming days. Good luck!
Don’t be surprised that they didn’t email you. They expect you to be in charge. And that’s the way it works when you’re on campus, too.
Same think happened to me! But it’s weird because I wasn’t even aware of BC FA portal until Friday (separate from normal app portal) and they requested some things I didn’t know I had to send
Well, the portal does say they will email us if any document is missing.
They replied to my email.
There might be some leeway with deadlines since it comes in batches
