Uh-oh...Forgot to Complete Certain Financial Aid Forms

Paying for College

Hey guys,

I need your help. I’m incredibly worried right now because I was unaware of the Princeton Financial Aid Application form and the Penn Financial Aid Supplement form. I only submitted the FAFSA, CSS Profile, and IDOC for all my schools because I assumed that’s all I needed to do. I’m so afraid now that even if I am admitted to Princeton or UPenn, I will not be able to afford the cost. I already emailed them to see if I could turn the documents in late, but I won’t hear a reply for a couple of days probably. Are my dreams of attending one of these schools crushed? How could I be so careless…

How about if you get those documents submitted TODAY?

Then call the schools tomorrow and find out if there is any implication for a late submission. They will,tell you.

Princeton does NOT use the Profile…unless in concert with the PFAA.

From the Princeton website:

Did you send you tax forms and other supplemental info directly to Princeton?

I completed them all just now.

And apparently you need to send your tax forms directly to Princeton.

Call the schools tomorrow…as ask the what the implications of this submission might be.

And ask Princeton about those tax forms.

It told me to submit the tax forms in a pdf online, and I did that. Does that count?

Ask the school. If that is what it said to do…then fine. But I would include that in my list of questions.

Thanks for your help!

I’m wondering how it turned out. Did they accept the forms?

Yup they said there was no penalty or anything!
