Request for Income Verification = Acceptance?

Paying for College
1

<p>We have been waiting impatiently for my DD to find out if she was accepted to a certain school. She had applied after the deadline so they said any decision would be forthcoming after April 1st. I have been tooling around on her online account with the school just hoping for some indication. Today I happened to click on the Financial Aid tab and it allowed me to look at the aid year (although no aid was posted) and then it said that they required more documents to complete her aid application. Clicking again it said they required copies of her W2's (she did not have to file) and for us to fill out an income verification form. </p>

<p>To me this sounds like she got in? I assume that colleges do not process aid applications or ask for income verification unless they are planning on possibly enrolling the student. </p>

<p>Thoughts? We are on pins and needles lol.</p>

<p>My D was accepted to Kenyon and a month or so before she was selected for “verification .”</p>

<p>LOL, I hope we don’t have to wait a month to find out. We get flagged every year (while oldest DD has been in school) for verification because DH is self employed and we submit corrections. I thought this year would be easier with the IRS Retrieval but since DD did not file they want copies of her W2’s too. I didn’t think that through I guess and now it is too late to file and retrieve. Quicker to just send them the info I guess.</p>
