Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>I sent my stuff at the beginning of february through express, but on myMIT it still says that it hasn't been received.</p>

<p>I did phone MIT about what to do, and they said I need to use IDOC to send my financial aid form. But I don't really understand how to.</p>

<p>Did everyone use IDOC as well?</p>

2

<p>also, the fact that MIT hasnt reminded me to submit my financial aid package, does that mean that I haven't gotten into MIT? :(</p>

3

<p>they havent reminded me either; we are in the same boat.</p>

<p>yes alot of schools use IDOC. I would advise to fax your 2006 tax form ASAP to MIT fin aid office. Then send in ur IDOC packet IMMEDIATELY! It's already past the deadline (march 1)</p>

<p>what is IDOC packet??? also, because of weird circumstances, our family doesn't have tax return to send them :S</p>

<p>The financial aid office doesn't have any idea who has or has not been admitted, so you shouldn't take any communication from financial aid as a sign that you have or have not gotten in.</p>

Through the Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC), the College Board collects families' federal tax returns and other documents on behalf of participating colleges and programs.

<p>The site for IDOC is [url=<a href="https://idoc.collegeboard.com/idoc/index.jsp%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;https://idoc.collegeboard.com/idoc/index.jsp]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p>

<p>If your family is not required to pay taxes, there is a "non-tax filer statement" to complete.</p>

<p>thank you for your reply molliebatmit =)
i still have a question though
I am a south korean international student living in Canada...and for the non-tax filer statement, it says for ppl who don't have to file U.S federal tax return..</p>

<p>isn't it self-evident that I don't have to file U.S. tax return? do I still have to do IDOC? </p>

<p>I am still confused with this whole IDOC thing :(
First it says to sign-in (except I don't have an IDOC account and don't know how to create one) oh man :(</p>

<p>I hope my screwed up finaid app doesn't affect my decision...</p>

<p>If you are international, you do not need to file the IDOC.</p>

As for the IDOC, remember it is just for domestic students and only to submit your 2006 tax returns [if you are international].

<p>So no, you do not need to submit forms through IDOC. Perhaps you could call again and emphasize that you are an international applicant?</p>
