Why does transfer have anything to do with your high school counselor? I assume transfer happens after one year or two into college, right?

163

No I mean private counselor

164

Is there any other portal astrology? or just IDOC?

165

i think if u requested aid and received IDOC for updates, then its a good sign for RD applicants

166

Heads up: every person Iā€™ve seen with an IDOC request has some irregularity in their financial situation, if youā€™re applying for aid but donā€™t have a request it could just be because you have a fairly normal financial situation

I meant astrology besides receiving IDOC request (we didnā€™t)

168

I was speaking generally

169

I had an IDOC request for early decision without any irregularities and was deferred; I strongly believe in the accept/waitlist/defer for IDOC with Brown.

170

What about those who didnā€™t apply aid? It doesnt apply to them right

171

Yes it wouldnā€™t apply to them I assume. I dont think theyā€™d be requesting financials if youā€™re full-pay

Irregularities arenā€™t limited to inconsistencies between documents and there are cases in which the financial aid office could screw something up for a normal applicant, I donā€™t doubt the astro working that way, Iā€™m saying that the converse (no IDOC=reject) is likely false

Oh for sure, no IDOC does not equal reject, I just think IDOC can carry some weight for accept/waitlist/defer IF it WAS requested

174

i think for rd applicants who get idoc and applied with fa its more consistent with accept no?

175

That is what Iā€™ve heard.

176

No bruh I know someone from my school who applied as a crapshoot like 3.0 gpa etc and he got IDOC. Its wrong this year

177

Iā€™m pretty sure it depends when you submitted financial aid info. Our IDOC request was early on. We submitted very early. Good luck everyone!

178

that peer is either abt to break the correlation or get in

I disagree - I submitted Brown 3 days late and received my IDOC request in mid-February

181

I submitted my financial aid info in january and got an IDOC request a little over a week ago
