Please help figure out the financial aid process

<p>I'm a little confused. I submitted my FAFSA and CSS PROFILE before February 1. Am I now supposed to wait for the collegeboard to contact me to do the IDOC service, or was I supposed to have mailed copies of any documents already? I really need financial aid so I'm kind of worried I screwed up the deadline.</p>

<p>call Financial Aid office - they will walk you through it.</p>

<p>Ok, more specifically, it's the part that says if you haven't finished your 2006 taxes, submit some stuff directly to Dartmouth, and then when you do finish them fill out the IDOC stuff. But what if my parents have completed the 2006 taxes already? Do I just wait for the IDOC to contact me and go from there.</p>

<p>yes, IDOC will e-mail you a link to thier site, where you need to download the personal cover page, and you can then submit your tax returns and other forms to IDOC.</p>

<p>Just to concur - I actually did call the Dartmouth financial aid office and bluebayou is exactly correct. Dartmouth said IDOC is starting to notify people this week. You should be ready to go when you hear from them.</p>
