@exl028 I know for a fact they do not have my Noncustodial Parent’s 2015 tax returns yet; I sent them the 2014 one. Did they email just ask about the PFAA in general or did it mention that specific documents were missing for you?
@PartyNextDoor they specifically asked for documents, but then again my friend also got the same email, because we both emailed them the documents in the past to the email they said but they we dont know what happened
@exl028 Did you send it to this email: pfaa@princeton.edu?
And do you know if you guys emailed 2015 tax documents or 2014 ones in the past?
@PartyNextDoor yes i sent it to that email, but i never received a reply as confirmation; i sent 2015 tax docs
@Foodlover001 I got one yesterday & late february. Apparently the closer the email is sent to the notification date, the better of a sign it is. But since both emails were sent out around the same date, I’m thinking more and more that it’s an automated email, especially since so many ppl on this thread has received it.
@ccstudent101 i agree; it just seems to good to be true
If I didn’t get the financial aid email what does that mean? Does that mean I didn’t get in for sure?
@zeedoq i dont think so… i think we are all over analyzing
@zeedoq Well no one knows for sure, but there seems to be a pretty darn good correlation between email and waitlist/acceptance.
Look at this thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/princeton-university/1626739-missing-princeton-financial-aid-application-p4.html
The only outlier is Post #57.
Of course, I am only speculating, but this is what I believe. Now, keep in mind that Princeton did send emails as late as March 24 last year when decisions last year came out on March 29th (or was it March 30th?).
@PartyNextDoor But if you already sent them everything or specified that you aren’t applying for financial aid then they wouldn’t have any reason to send to the email. Chill dude, everything’s going to work out!
I’m just curious, would admissions be finished with making their decisions by now?
@FiveFactorial Lol I’m chill bro, not worried at all. I’m just speculating based on what the trend has been in the last few years, just offering my opinions and thoughts cause I think this entire situation is interesting with Princeton. You guys of course don’t have to agree with what I’m saying, and I actually encourage you to not take this too seriously.
And no I didn’t send everything they need and I never received an email, but I’m genuinely fine with that.
@ccstudent101 I’m not sure about Princeton but I do know that Harvard (and Stanford too I believe?) were still in session making decisions late this week.
Is that only for rd applicants or do u think that applies to deferred applicants as well?
I emailed them about the email bc I too got it, but I already turned in my stuff. They responded that it was just a coding error.
@layla2016 I’ll be on my spring break, too! I don’t know what I’m going to do as a distraction! I had yesterday off from school and spent an unhealthy amount of time on here and reading colleges’ twitters for any inclination on decision dates haha. Good luck to you and everyone else!!
@admitmemaybe yes, I envision myself doing the same!! I may have a snow day Monday and although I would get an extra day to study for exams, part of me is wishing for school just because I know I’ll spend all day obsessing over this!! Thanks, and good luck to you too! Now that we have all been posting here and becoming a little familiar, I can’t wait to see the results!
less than 300 hours before decisions!! 295 hours and 54 minutes to be exact
@ccstudent101 : I got a PFAA email at the end of February and then a confirmation email, but haven’t heard anything since. Was the second email you got a tax document request or a PFAA request again?
have we come to a conclusion as to whether or not the email means anything? I submitted my PFAA right after it became available so there’s no need for them to email me, but I just want to make sure…
Here is my opinion. Among the ppl who applied for financial aid, some of them surely did not submit all the requested documents. By now Princeton must have determined the majority of applicants who will be not admitted. Although some of the ‘already-rejected’ applicants might not have submitted all the financial aid documents, Princeton has no reason to notify them about it because they are not getting in. It is natural that applicants who got the e-mail is more likely to get in, so I think it is a good sign. But one does not need to worry if he/she did not get the e-mail. As someone mentioned before, if all the needed documents are sent or he/she did not apply for financial aid there is no reason for the e-mail to come.
