Hello,
I got deferred in January. Every college I’ve applied to requested that I send them proof of citizenship documentation. This is probably due to me indicating I was not born in the US and migrated when I was 1. Also, for some reason, my FAFSA says that my social security # does not verify my US residency.
Anyways, the issue is that UNC has not requested for my passport information yet to prove I live here, but other colleges like Case Western have even though I have not received an admission decision from them yet. I do not know if UNC has my fafsa/css profile information. Under the financial aid tab, there is no academic year listed as well. It just says “no financial aid information can be found”. I am worried that they do not have it, or if I do get accepted then I may have delayed my funds. I’m also worried that this may also mean I’ve been rejected so they do not need my documentation information. Could there not be any information listed on the financial aid tab on my ConnectCarolina account because I have not been admitted? Could anyone provide me any insight on how UNC handles financial aid for deferred or RD applicants?
Sorry if I seem a little anxious, UNC is my top choice and this deferral has gotten me really down.
Thank you.
