USC Financial Aid Problem????

Paying for College
1

<p>I am an admitted student to USC Marshall for Spring 2010. I am worried my financial aid application to the school is having problems and may be affected by late paperwork!!!!!</p>

<p>Here's my problem:</p>

<p>I submitted all of my FAFSA and CSS Profile information along with tax returns in January, in accordance with the deadlines. Then I find out in April that the school is missing a "Non Filing Tax Student form" that is basically saying that I am not filing taxes this year. Apparently it has been holding the entire thing up. After i faxed that in last week, 2 MORE DOCUMENTS have appeared on my status check that need to be completed. A MONTHLY INCOME FORM and a DIVORCE SETTLEMENT. </p>

<p>Here's my question:</p>

<p>Will the tardiness of these less important forms jeapordizer my entire financial aid application, and will i get less money?? Time is running out to turn in my SIR and I have still not finished all the paperwork. I need to KNOW BY THE END OF THE MONTH???</p>

<p>IF I TURNED MY FAFSA AND CSS AND TAX RETURNS in in January, is it possible that i have already been evaluated, or have they not even started.....</p>

<p>IM VERY WORRIED!! HELP!!</p>

<p>They haven’t determined your aid. They need those forms done asap.</p>

<p>You might get less aid, but that’s because of the non-filing statement, and not these last two forms. </p>

<p>I turned in my parents’ tax forms late (though it was their fault!), and then they made me submit two different forms. I faxed them the next day, and they gave me an offer a few days later. I was extremely happy with it.</p>

<p>So the moral of the story is get those forms faxed in the next day or two.</p>

<p>i had my parents forms in though…i dont understand how important my income could be seeing as IM A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL, VERY BUSY, AND NOT EVEN 18. Ridiculous to think that that form botched up the entire thing. I will send in those forms quickly. thanks for the tip. if anyone else knows about this or usc, post a replyyyyyyyy</p>
