urgent! about financial aid

<p>i thought MIT recieved all the materials needed for financial aid but when i checked the financial aid tracking part it says that they haven'T recieved anything! what's the deadline to send these materials again by fax?</p>

<p>^^^^ Same thing happened with me :(</p>

<p>btw i am an international student. ronty have you called them to ask what to do?</p>

<p>I am an Intl too...from India. I havent called them
I will Fax them those docs again</p>

<p>is the financial aid office closed on saturdays? because i called them and it says that the office is open from 9 am to 5 pm. what should i do?</p>

<p>The financial aid office is unlikely to be open on weekends (Sat/Sun). Try them again first thing Monday morning (9am) Eastern Standard Time.</p>

<p>is the tracking system up to date for intl students? mine says that the office has not received them either...</p>

<p>I am an international applicant and I can see the tracking portlet. It seems to work for me.</p>

<p>Oddly enough, the tracking system says that MIT has received my International Financial Aid Form, but not my parents' tax returns for 2004, which we are adament were posted together in the same envelope.</p>

<p>I sent my Fin aid materials on 1st Feb. They havent updated it yet :(</p>

<p>i sent them at the end of december with all the other application materials and it seems that they lost it... do u think this will affect us in a bad way? or would this mean that our decision letters would be postponed?</p>

<p>I have heard that we can send those docs even after the acceptance decision, as they r need blind.</p>

Interesting, this applies to my case, too. I didn't send the 2004 tax return, though.
To everybody else, I don't think you should overstress. Matt said that financial aid would be available for anybody, even if the deadline was not met.</p>
