REA Class of 2018 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>@Etshine, see: <a href=“https://appsupport.commonapp.org/ics/support/kbanswer.asp?deptID=33013&task=knowledge&questionID=1629[/url]”>https://appsupport.commonapp.org/ics/support/kbanswer.asp?deptID=33013&task=knowledge&questionID=1629&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Still, will confirm with Stanford tomorrow.</p>

<p>Ahhh that gives me some peace of mind!
My application submitted box says 11/4/13 11:10:10 PM (i think this is EST)
My payment submitted box says 11/4/13 8:05 PM (I think this is PST)
when I click on the receipt thing next to the payment submitted box it says:
Date/time application submitted 11/5/13 4:10:10 AM (I think this is UTC)
and Date/time payment submitted 11/4/13…
WHY the heck can’t they just PICK a timezone…why must they use every time zone possible!?</p>

<p>Aviraldg please msg me or post on here what they say! Do you think I should call them also to confirm?</p>

<p>Sure. I don’t think it should be a problem. I’d called yesterday, and was told that “as long as the CommonApp lets you submit, and you do, you should be fine.”</p>

<p>@Etshine, confirmed with them. It’s okay.</p>

<p>alright thanks, avirldg! Guess it doesn’t really matter anyways though since I’m just gunna get rejected… haha.</p>

<p>Anyone submitted the CSS profile already? It is due by 11/15.</p>

<p>Did anyone get any notice yet regarding their early action to Stanford?</p>

<p>billcsho, I submitted my CSS profile a week or two ago. I don’t think Stanford sends out any separate confirmation of having received it.</p>

<p>The CSS profile is only required if you’re applying for financial aid, right?</p>

<p>It took me half a day to fill the pre-application worksheet. I guess I can submit the CSS profile today. Collegeboard said it normally takes 1 day to submit to school, but one should do that one week before deadline to be sure. I hope it will go through smoothly.</p>

<p>I’m a little bit confused on the nature of CSS. Is it only for students who know they need financial aid? Or should we all submit it if we want financial aid?</p>

<p>The CSS profile is something you must submit if you want financial aid from Stanford; it’s basically a financial aid application.</p>

<p>Considering Stanford’s extremely generous need-based aid, though, I think it’s well worth filling it out for almost every applicant’s family; my family wouldn’t get any need-based aid from most other institutions but the HYPS schools would give us some.</p>

<p>Do you think it would be possible to get any aid if parents (totaled) income is 600kish and 2 kids are in college at the same time?</p>

<p>Sorry for the stupid question, but do we have to fill out all the colleges we would use css for in one go? Or can we just do Stanford now?</p>

<p>I think we can do just Stanford now. I sent in only Stanford.</p>

<p>I just submitted CSS to Stanford for now as other schools are not due until 2/15. There is a $9 fee for registration and $16 per school. I am not sure if the $9 fee will be charged again if I update the profile before submitting to other schools.</p>

<p>After I submitted the CSS profile, I noticed it said the financial aid notice for EA will be announced by 12/15.</p>

<p>ugh its so dumb to be forced to pay to send the css thing if you get rejected they just ignore it… so why waste money? -_-</p>

<p>^ Just consider that as part of the application fee. It is a waste of money for any school that one got rejected anyway. My D may even need to apply for dorm by the end of this month with a processing fee at another school where most applicants have not even received the acceptance notice.</p>
