Swarthmore international FA deadline?? help please

Paying for College

<p>Hi im an international applicant also applying for financial aid.
When are all the forms (Swarthmore FA application, Certificate of Finance, letters from employers, etc.) due??
They say get those forms in when you apply, but on the Swarthmore FA application, it just says "in January."
And if it happens that the deadline (for internationals!) is January 2nd, is that a postmark deadline??</p>

<p>i've been trying to contact Swat by phone, e-mail, etc. but no response.</p>

<p>All must provide us a letter from each parent’s employer stating, in English, the parent’s gross salary (that is, before any deductions) and
the value of other benefits, subsidies, or perquisites for the period January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007.</p>

<p>I doubt that this woudl be due January 2nd. However, I would not wait until January 31st to send the information either. Your best bet would be to speak with your parents to find out when they can get this information for you (employers letters- translated if necessary and the necessary certifications).</p>

<p>make sure that you also send the certification of finances</p>

<p>thank you.
do you think the certification of finances is due on the 2nd? or maybe I can just turn it in when i turn in other forms?</p>

<p>No I don't think it is due on 1/2. Since your financial situation is factor in your admissions, just try to get all of your stuff in ASAP.</p>
