<p>Can anyone explain to me the financial aid packet everyone is talking about? :o</p>
<p>Also, does it matter if you submitted a TAU later during Spring? Because when I submitted my TAU early in January, it stated that my winter course was IP and my spring courses were PL, but I didn’t submit another one after February stating the grade I got in Winter and switched my spring courses from PL to IP. Will that affect anything? :((((</p>
<p>No, it shouldn’t.</p>
<p>I got this when I logged in and click on my financial aid status link:</p>
<p>FAFSA Status
The system is currently being updated. Please check back in 15 minutes.</p>
<p>Does this mean what I think it means??</p>
<p>@Matt4200</p>
<p>I had your same message before too, then it proceeded going back to: </p>
<p>"Your initial 2014-2015 FAFSA was received by the federal processor on 3/1/2014. "</p>
<p>^date probably varies depending when you actually submitted it</p>
<p>Anyone having a problem logging in? I’ve always had to try a couple of time switching with my Perm. # and application; this time I tried both and still cant get in hmm.</p>
<p>Matt, I’ve seen that message a lot of times. I think it means they’re updating the system, not necessarily posting results.</p>
<p>Awwww man I got excited for I minute lol</p>
<p>Are the batches being released at 3 pm today or 4pm/5pm PST?</p>
<p>Around 5 PM every day. I’m sending good vibes to UCSB admissions. Goooooooood Viiiiiiiiiiiiiibes</p>
<p>Any news? Call me crazy, but I keep checking the portal every 15 minutes</p>
<p>@ern1523</p>
<p>You are not crazy. It’s their process that’s crazy.</p>
<p>did anyone notice in your portal the “Application Update Received at UCSB” under the Transcripts column…
It is so weird that they show I submitted my Application Update (TAU) in Jan but Received at UCSB in 3/13…is that why I can’t get a decision maybe until next month…since they just received my update 5 days ago…</p>
<p>Mine says
Application Update Submitted: 01/17/2014
Application Update Received at UCSB: 02/21/2014</p>
<p>Mine says:
Application Update Submitted: 01/16/2014
Application Update Received at UCSB: 02/18/2014</p>
<p>Mine:</p>
<p>Application Update Submitted: 02/26/2014
Application Update Received at UCSB: 02/27/2014</p>
<p>But I sent it at 1/27/2014 and had to make a couple of changes so I submitted it again.</p>
<p>So it looks like we weren’t part of today’s batch since I’m not seeing anything. Or maybe they’re running late?</p>
<p>Mine TAU update is now up to date it previously showed mu firsf TAU in jan now it shows my last update after winter sent 2/8 and recieved 2/11. </p>
<p>No decision yet </p>
<p>Omg… I don’t think I can last another day. JUST TELL ME IF I GOT IN OR NOT UCSB!!!</p>
<p>@TonyStark93 Why don’t you call UCSB and demand to know whether you got in or not?</p>
