just as an FYI - I emailed financial aid and they said that to be considered for grant/scholarship money you do not have to preemptively send in tax information (apart from FAFSA/NA), they will just ask for it before they hand over the $$$

When I spoke with them, Kelly indicated that they did want the W-2s/tax info (for you and your parents, unless you somehow qualify as independent under their rules) for either 2009 or 2010, though if you can't get it, you should "send what you can."

She also confirmed that right now, their turn-around time is about a week.

To everyone still waiting, I hope we still have a chance this late into the cycle...

Yeah I'm thinking it's a lost cause for us. I mean deposits are due in a few weeks. I doubt there will be many spots left...

So how screwed are the people still waiting for a decision?

ktg808 · Post by **ktg808** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 4:00 pm

So I called Kelly, and she said I can expect a decision before May 1. Complete 3/16.

I was on "processing" for 2 months before going complete... then it took ~3 weeks for me to go UR.

This was pretty much exact same timeline. Been under review for over a week now with no changes.

Woo hoo! Also admitted yesterday! So when can I expect a financial aid decision?

aspire2more · Post by **aspire2more** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 5:36 pm

I am just now hearing back from Cornell stating that my application is incomplete. WTF? They say I did not submit the dean's certification form, but my undergrad sent that out two months ago. I'm wondering if I should even bother asking them to do another one. By the time they review my app, all of the seats and $$$ will be gone anyway.

:Sigh: Cornell is slow as molasses. I'll probably be at orientation at ND/BC/W&M by the time I hear a decision.

Got a ding and a WL from two other schools I applied to at the same time. Have yet to go under review at Cornell. Oh well...

FiveSermon · Post by **FiveSermon** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 9:47 pm

Is financial aid out of the question for people who are likely to receive decisions in mid/late April??

That's what I'm thinking. I think I might just take the money and run elsewhere if it comes to that.

Ugh. Is it though? I mean I applied in mid/late Dec and while that's not early it doesn't seem to be late either.
