<p>Hi,
I sent an e-mail to SFS on Feb. 26th to check if I fulfilled the required forms, and they just replied to me today that I had to send a non-tax filer's statement along with some other confirmatory documents, which need to be translated. So;
1-Is this the IDOC non-tax filer's statement, that they mean? or is there anything specific for MIT? </p>
<p>And should I send it directly to MIT? I read that in an old CC thread. Because international applicants had nothing to do with IDOC.
2-It may take a few days to send all this stuff? especially in my country :D (And that's why my FA app. was also so late)
Can they wait? (Also, I received their e-mail too late)
Thank you.</p>
<p>For US students, it is the IDOC document, so I’m sure you can use this. I don’t know where you should mail it to, but if you sent the rest of your fin aid app straight to MIT, then you should do the same with this. Also, MIT, to my knowledge, is not first-come first-served. You will get the appropriate fin aid offer; however, it may (at this point, probably) be delayed. With deadlines met, it should be out by early April (don’t know an exact date), so you will probably see it mid-late April.</p>
<p>OK, thanks so much that’s a relief.
It doesn’t matter for me if it’s delayed.
I just had another question. When I revised my documents, I found out that there’s a 500-1000$ difference in income that I will report on this form, than income reported on my CSS profile? Will this be a problem?</p>
<p>I think, overall, a difference that small is very minor and MIT financial aid will be very accepting. MIT seems to have a more lenient and fair fin aid office, plus, it really is only a minor issue. I would just send in that paperwork (fastest mail available), respond to the e-mail, and then just let go and wait (they will e-mail you about any major issues). BTW, did you get into MIT EA (probably not considering that you’re still doing financial stuff) or are you waiting as well (one more week!)?</p>
<p>Yeah, I hope so.
I will do exactly what you said, except I may fax it to get it there ASAP. But, the problem is that everything here is incredibly paralyzed. It’s very tough to get a single paper, not to mention translation and notarization due to the recent events over here. I hope they also take this into account.
There’s no EA for internationals. I’m waiting RA decision.</p>
