@chimchimmy me too, I was really hoping it would’ve been today 
I kept checking my email last night for any new update. This anticipation is overwhelming!
Anyway, now that we know exactly when, good luck everyone! I’m sure you are all strong applicants!
Yeahh goodluck everybody, in case it doesnt work out, hope you guys are preparing your RD applications
Hi everyone! I’m an international applicant from South Korea. I didn’t get the notification mail about the result release(my applicant portal does show the information, though) Did everyone get the mail in addition to the applicant portal notification? I know it’s trivial, but still kinda worried…
@Lizzyk06 have u checked ur promotion/ spam box
@ALFSTR19 You mentioned that you already submitted Federal Verification Worksheet in post #37. Did the Financial Aid office notify you about the verification worksheet(s) needed to process your FA application? If so, when did they contact you for verification? My child also applied to financial aid and was selected for verification, but hasn’t heard from the FA office any request of verification worksheets yet. I’m just wondering if it is indicative of the admission status of the applicant, though I have no idea about their admission and FA processing procedures.
Can anyone shed light on it? Thanks.
@chimchimmy Yes, I checked everything but still no mail…hmmm
My friend who ED to another school said that a change in “Status Date” in your financial aid checklist might be a sign of acceptance. Can someone check up on this? What does the status date on your portal says? I know i’m being paranoid but it’s hard not to be around decisions day…
@acedang11 there has been no change on my portal.
Relax! worries can change nothing, right? The result will remain the same, so just leave it. Go read or watch something to forget 
or prepare for your RD schools.
@acedang11 Besides, I think there are those who got emails about verifying financial docs but no one (to my knowledge) has changes on their portal. I think it’ll be fine, don’t think too much
@mochi12 No I wasn’t contacted by Swarthmore’s financial office for verification. I submitted the federal verification worksheet/statement through my IDOCs because it was listed as required by several institutions. If needed to submit, I’m sure they should be available through your child’s IDOC page.
In terms of admission, Swarthmore is a need-blind institution (particularly for domestic students graduating from a high school within the US). Meaning, your student will not receive a decision based on financial status or whether the school has received financial documents. With this said, the only thing affected may be the student’s financial package they receive (depending on which documents are missing). This number is not concrete; packages can be adjusted as more documents are submitted and if you contact financial aid, they are more than willing to assist.
I would contact Swat’s financial aid offices just to confirm, but this is what I got from informational sessions and online research.
I hope this helped!
@ALFSTR19 Thank you very much for your explanation! I’ll let my child check the IDOC page to see what to do.
BTW, @acedang11, my child’s FAFSA status date was updated recently from “N” to “Y”, although it was submitted in October. We contacted the FA office for the FAFSA status shown as not received in November and then we were told that they found the file and would update the status soon. However, the status wasn’t updated until 2-3 weeks later. Concerning this delay of the status update, I just think they had been busy with other priorities. I wouldn’t over interpret it. Let’s just wait for the decision to come out on Friday. Meanwhile, enjoy the busyness at this time of the year!
Did Swat follow anyone else’s Instagrams?
@landtheoctopus Swattabroad followed mine haha
@acedang11 swatabroad followed me too haha, I was like is this a sign? XD
@ALFSTR19 I think they only followed me because I followed swatadmissions. Anyhow, it’s a good luck charm!! haha
@acedang11 I’m not sure - my college counselour was like, “They’re checking up on all their applicants” ?
Also - I’m sorry if that sounded rude, I didn’t mean it to be - I’m just nervous and looking for bad/good signs everywhere
It’s perfectly understandable to be obsessed with those, esp in this time of the year u know 
for me I’ve been suffering with insomnia for over one week now… ?
it’s ok guys… just a few more days!
