Is SID only related to those apply for FA applicants or everyone gets it?

626

This SID is assigned by the FA office, to students upon matriculation.
Here’s the link from the FA office:

So eventually everyone gets it.

Should I update my colleges that I’m a regional Coca Cola finalist? How much impact does it have if any?

  1. no one thus far who didn’t get in when they got an SID
  2. for this round – yes. i got one that started with a 92XX and the 3 other people i talked to also got it.

did your daughter get one? if so – congrats!

Why did I get a request for household verification from financial aid? It wasn’t a required form on CSS

634

yeah my portal also says (as of 1/27) that I’m missing that form (even though I think I already uploaded it via IDOC??)

I’m also wondering about the request for household verification, I applied early and was deferred but that wasn’t on my checklist during the early round. It must be some sort of extra thing they’re asking for. I saw on another school’s website that household verification has to do with what colleges other people in your school attend, so do either of y’all have siblings or parents in college? My sister is a college senior and I’m wondering if they’re asking for details about whether she will graduate. But I’m really confused why they didn’t ask for this when I applied early, or where I could even submit this doc?
Any portal astrology wizards want to comment? Does this extra fin aid doc request mean anything about our possible status? I know it’s a moot point to speculate this intensely now, but morbid curiosity LOL

That form randomly appeared in my students applicant portal on 1/27 too. No email to alert on it either so other than frequently stalking the portals, how would you know it was there? And yes, sibling in college. Would love the portal astrology to help out here. :crazy_face:

I only knew it was there because I was submitting info about a recent award, checked checklists out of curiosity, and popped up on 1/27 too lol!

I don’t think it means anything - Dd is oldest going to college and school is still working on mid year grades- reports are being sent mid to late feb and we also got the missing verification form so they haven’t even reviewed DD’s file yet since no substantial update of grades.

639

I just checked again and the form is gone now everything is good for me

Gone here too and we did upload the form over the weekend. :woman_shrugging:t2:

Thanks, @bigbluebelugawhale Yes, she has a SID now, and we also submitted the household verification form as it was showing “missing” on the portal and my daughter was deferred too. And the form disappeared from the list yesterday. I don’t think any of this means anything.

So is she going to be accepted since she has a SID now? We didn’t bother to call the FA when we saw the form since I feel like it was accidentally added to everyone’s FA page.

No, getting a SID doesn’t mean anything. It’s just portal astrology. Nothing is proven yet. There are so many that got in and they didn’t get a SID. We’re not getting our hopes up.

Where in the financial aid portal would an applicant even see an S ID number prior to a decision and financial aid award? My student just has the list of items required and green check marks that they were submitted. I agree that it probably doesn’t mean anything, but now I’m curious!
