<p>Oh god… I didn’t send my IDOC by the 10th of March, the specified deadline. My parents didn’t file their taxes until about a week ago, and we just received a copy of it… </p>
<p>What happens if I send it now?? Do I not get any financial aid???</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP!!!</p>
<p>Brown never asked me to send anything through IDOC…</p>
<p>The same thing happened to me. We’re supposed to have gotten an email, and they said to email them if you didn’t. I emailed them tonight, so I’ll give you an answer when I get it.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. I recently read that Brown does not require the IDOC from all applicants, and they probably would have emailed you if they needed it. </p>
<p>Furthermore, if you are admitted and are missing financial documents, they’ll probably just take a few more days to put together a package. People send stuff in late all the time.</p>
<p>(My apologies if my information is incorrect - but really, everything I’ve read points to this not being a big deal.)</p>
<p>They emailed me for the IDOC form… However, I couldn’t send it by the deadline because my parents didn’t file their taxes until ~a week ago… :(</p>
<p>Am I screwed?</p>
<p>@br2pi5 Brown website states that you email them the forms as soon as they are available so I think you should email them the scanned copy right now and explain why you didn’t keep to the deadline in the email.</p>
<p>I’ll do that! To admissions or financial aid office (email)?</p>
<p>to the financial aid office. Good Luck</p>
<p>I got a response! They said that they don’t need it /until/ they email you.</p>
<p>And again, FA is separate from admissions. You won’t get denied just because you’re missing some tax info!</p>
<p>Thanks! I was freaking out because getting financial aid is pretty important in my case. Brown has a very high tuition @.@</p>
<p>Wait, why doesn’t Brown require the IDOC for all applicants? Do they just require it from the poor/middle class? D:</p>
<p>I think the point of the IDOC is to provide additional information that might not have been available from the profile or FAFSA. So if they need this information to put together a package, they’ll request your IDOC from CollegeBoard. (Someone please correct me if I’m wrong - I have only the most basic understanding of this stuff.)</p>
<p>Anyway - to OP - it might even be a good sign that they emailed you asking for the extra info. But I don’t want to get into speculation (like on the Dartmouth boards! yeesh), so we’ll leave it at that and find out on Thursday.</p>
