URGENT HELP! financial aid!!

<p>i submitted my css profile. now i need to do the supplement which requires me to log in to pennportal? i have the username/password!</p>

<p>also, when they say the cover sheet, is it just that form the link provides? do i just print it out and send it via airmail?</p>

<p>so in the envelope, it would be the cover sheet, and all the tax/income related papers, right? everything else is done online?</p>

<p>now how do i log in to do the supplement?????</p>

<p>omg guys i'm freakin out i thought it was just the css profile that i had to do!</p>

<p>btw, do we MAIL all the parent tax/income related docs? or do we fax 'em? </p>

<p>how are we supposed to do the supp w/o pennportal? i don't have it yet!omg i'm so confused. somebody helpPPP!</p>

<p>I faxed all my financial aid apps. I didn't have a Penn ID either but I believe that the social security number serves as a substitute. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>can i log in to pennportal online w/my SS#?</p>

<p>Um haven't tried but I'd imagine no...</p>

<p>can i fax EVERYTHING? that includes the cover sheet, all the tax/income docs of my parents and me, and the FA supp?</p>

<p>yes you can. i faxed all of mine, and received a confirmation from penn the next day.</p>

<p>How did they confirm? Through email?</p>

<p>yes through email:</p>

<p>I faxed my sheets on Friday. I hope they got them. Hopefully I'll get a confirmation email on monday since I didn't fax them until around 3:30.</p>

<p>i just faxed mine today.....hope they don't hate me for sending it so late. </p>

<p>lol i feel like i should send them an explanation on how i didn't find out till 12:56 am last night, how my printer does NOT work, how i had to go to the library 4 times this morning, how i had to stand by the fax machine for literally 30 minutes b/c the stupid thing wouldn't work properly! haha j/k......yesterday and today were not so good to me. and i missed my homecoming dance b/c of it...not that i mind THAT much</p>

<p>will this (sending the FA stuff a day late) affect my chances at penn??? lol i frickin cried last night b/c of it haha. but i'm scarrreedd</p>

<p>Don't worry about it...financial aid has its own office and it doesn't (shouldn't) communicate with the admissions office anyways. They might grumble a little bit but I don't think it matters much to your chance.</p>
