<p>Great! I just finished fixing my application papers, I'll have to focus now on financial aid only. I hope I can send my packages the day after tomorrow!</p>

<p>CradleofFilth: I still don't get it... I know you have to document the income your family gets from your parent's work up to Dec. 31, but that doesn't mean you actually have to wait until Dec. 31 to know how much money your parents will be payed. You already know that... don't you? Employees have fixed salaries and whatever bonuses they get due to the Christmas season, they are documented too and usually known before the holidays... right ?</p>

<p>das222: What do you mean by "post for information" ?
Are you talking about sending emails to universities or writing the address of the school? Or are you actually talking about posting information like on this forum on a university's web site? If this is the case I don't know, cause I have never tried it.</p>

<p>Have a good night !</p>

22

<p>I forgot to ask:</p>

<p>So what financial aid papers are you sending?</p>

<p>Besides the salary thing, what else?</p>

23

<p>Oh, i got it. Thanx Daniel</p>

24

<p>Hey I meant when i post my application documents, who ^^^ should I address them to?</p>

25

<p>Just look at the university's address, for example, this is Amherst's:</p>

<p>Office of Admission
Amherst College
PO Box 5000
Amherst, MA 01002-5000</p>

<p>So you write Office of Admission cause that's on the address...</p>

<p>(that's the regular mail address)</p>

<hr>

<p>Can anyone tell me what other financial aid papers you're sending ?</p>

26

<p>isn't it better to send the income tax return instead of the salary statement?</p>

27

<p>i don't know ... my father is a church minister so his salary is not taxed.</p>

<p>what other papers are you sending shreya?</p>

28

<p>another question: if you're sending a bank statement, do you have to send originals or do copies suffice ?</p>

29

<p>You have to send attested copies. how come you can send original documents to all your colleges?</p>

<p>BTW schools transcript is required, right? Or is the testimonial required too?</p>

30

<p>what is an attested copy?</p>

<p>I went today to ask for a bank statement, an additional original bank statement costs like 4$. However, I'm just going to photocopy the signed original they gave me and send it to all the colleges. That's OK right?</p>

<p>I believe school transcripts are ABSOLUTELY required.</p>

<p>I wish more international students helped us here...</p>

31

<p>I know the transcript is required but is the schools testimonial required too? (i.e. leaving certificate if you have graduated from school)</p>

<p>I think you will need to attest photocopies from the bank. Ask them, they know better than me--it's basically an officer verification</p>

32

<p>btw we have formed a nice partnership here people...</p>

33

<p>I also graduated from high school already, I've never seen a college ask for a high school graduation certificate though... just the transcripts.</p>

<p>So I have to ask a bank officer to verify the copies I got?</p>

<p>I'm getting tired of this ...</p>

34

<p>I'm worried about the Jan 1 to Dec 31 thingy. Every college seems to ask for that but the employers will not provide an estimate for THAT time period. The economic year in my country starts at about July. Any ideas?</p>

35

<p>The bank I got the statement from would not attest the photocopies but gave each extra original at about $2. I paid.</p>

36

<p>btw, I stapled the financial information papers together but didnt put them in a single envelope to the one college that I applied EA to. They have recieved those documents but seem to have lost my fee waiver and attested photocopies of my SAT and TOEFL score reports. They said those documents were missing and didnt reply to any of my inquiries. I'll have to fax the documents to them tomorrow.</p>

37

<p>To which college did you apply EA ?</p>

<p>I don't know about the income thing ... </p>

<p>About the bank statement, it seems I'll have to go back to my bank and ask for more originals or for attested copies ..</p>

38

<p>silly question perhaps, but what is the "expected visa type" ?</p>

<p>Academic or language training?
Immigrant?</p>

<p>And what is the "total amount of money you expect to have when you arrive to this institution" ?</p>

<p>Are they asking about cash?</p>

<p>Another question: "Do you plan to remain in the U.S during the summer?"
The answer is yes, if I'm applying for financial aid and will have a summer job, right?
"If remaining in the U.S, do you plan to attend summer school?"
What do I answer?</p>

<p>Thaaanks</p>
