<p>Scratch my post… I just logged in again and its different. Weird.</p>
<p>To be considered for financial aid, you must file a 2011/2012 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).</p>
<p>The FAFSA is not required for non-need scholarship consideration</p>
<p>As of today we have not received your file from Federal Student Aid. Please make sure of the following</p>
<p>You have received a Student Aid Report (SAR) from Federal Student Aid.
If you have received the SAR, is UC Davis listed as one of your school choices?
If you have received the SAR, is there anything missing on it to make it incomplete?
If you have received the SAR and UC Davis is listed and everything is complete or you have questions, please contact your respective Financial Aid Office.</p>
<p>means I am rejected??? :D</p>
<p>hoping to apply for 2012. </p>
<p>when are 2011 results being released? 20th still?</p>
<p>Alright, so I called the admissions office again today, and they said that the decisions should be released in the next two weeks and “definitely by the end of the month”. !#$@#$ I’m getting extremely impatient! Perhaps I am not good at squeezing information out of admissions people and that is why they didn’t give me a definite date (they didn’t give me a definite date the first time I called either)? Ah well, that’s what they told me.</p>
<p>Wait… so if it says that the status of the Admissions application decision as “Satisfied” does that mean…?</p>
<p>@astr0 i think that means they’ve made a decision but it doesn’t necessarily mean accepted or rejected.</p>
<p>Mine says not satisfied though :(</p>
<p>I checked out the information when I applied out of highschool and got rejected, the Admissions application decision is “not satisfied”. hm…</p>
<p>I do know for a fact that my decision has been made though because a UCD rep pulled up my application on the computer. </p>
<p>Watch, I get rejected again haaa</p>
<p>I think the satisfied means the requirements have been satisfied? If it’s not it’s probably because you need to finish this sem to satisfy your reqs? I don’t know it’s just a guess.</p>
<p>Nevermind found it</p>
<p>Could the “satisfied” status be for those who have tag’d? Hmm… I have the “not satisfied” thing :(…</p>
<p>I think it’s safe to say due to my previous failed application that a rejection decision would be “not satisfied”. But if a decision has not been made yet then it is probably still “not satisfied” as well. Now whether “satisfied” actually means accepted is the big question. </p>
<p>Here’s an entry I found in 2010 made by Cali Trumpet in this thread:

<p>
</p>
<p>No one really came through after they have been admitted to support that speculation though.</p>
<p>I didnt submit a FAFSA (long story), so I dont see any “requirements” section…</p>
<p>Is there any way for me to check this leak?</p>

<p>Also, does the UCD MyAdmissions not work for anyone else?</p>
<p>^
Works for me</p>
<p>Hi, folks. I’ve been following this thread for a while and registered just to respond to the speculation about the meaning of the “Admissions application decision” requirement on the UCD financial aid portal.</p>
<p>Before returning to school I worked in the financial aid office at a CCC as a full-time FAA in charge of third-party grants and Federal Work-Study awards. I would like to give my professional opinion about what is most likely going on here.</p>
<p>In my experience, it is not uncommon for information sharing between admissions and financial aid to be partial or incomplete. The fact that there are two separate portals at UCD for admissions and financial aid strongly implies that these two offices do not have one shared database or software package for managing student information. The FAO may be using PowerFAIDS, which is specific to financial aid; either office may be using custom software designed specifically for their needs.</p>
<p>As such, the information you get from the financial aid portal CANNOT be reasonably interpreted as a statement about your admissions decision. The only thing the FAO needs to know right now is that you are a student who has applied for financial aid. Once admissions decisions have gone out, the FAO may need to know who was accepted, since those applicants will be sent financial aid award letters to encourage them to SIR at Davis. But they can’t send out award letters before admissions releases the decisions, so at this point they have no need for that information.</p>
<p>It’s also possible that the FAO never needs to know about the decisionthey could prepare award letters for everyone who has submitted both the FAFSA and a completed application, and then hand them off to admissions where the list is merged with their acceptance data and then sent off to a printer. Or the merge could take place outside of either office. There are many possibilities. After award letters go out, the only thing the FAO absolutely needs to know is whether you enroll or not in the Fall; some students are accepted but do not enroll, so decision data cannot substitute for enrollment data.</p>
<p>Admissions will be going through piles and piles of apps right now; it’s likely a batch of apps is printed off for each reading session and a list of all the applicant IDs from that batch is fowarded over to the FAO. There, the “Admissions application decision” requirement is marked "Satisfied"either by some unfortunate staffer or work-study student who has to do manual data entry, or automatically via a software tool. Either way, in this scenario the FAO has no idea what the decision actually was, only that it exists.</p>
<p>Even if the FAO has the decision information, it’s not their place to give it out so you should absolutely NOT bother them with phone calls or emails about your decision. All the staff is incredibly busy this time of year processing new student and applicant information and you would only slow things down for everyone including yourself. I know it’s stressful; I have three transfer apps in as well, including one to Davis, and I’m sweating it same as the rest of you. Just hang tight and try to focus on your coursework; the admissions decision is out of your hands but your grades for the spring semester are not. </p>
<p>And good luck!</p>
<p>@bakemaster thank you for the information. I just wish Davis would release decisions already so we could all stop speculating.</p>
