I’m not able to click in To Do

Id like to remind everyone this astrology is based on the assumption that one, you applied for aid, two, you received an idoc request, three, you at some point had processing, and four, you now have “no to do items” message. Everything else is indecisive so far

Can you clarify when “no to do items” show up? Is it before or after you press Go?

For mine, it initially shows the “To Do” with hyperlink, but when clicked, it shows the parameter error message. However, if I press Go, then I see the list of items that are processing.

In general, if you have go at all, that’s considered the “processing” senario. If you cant click go and see processing, youre apart of that group. In the case of the “no to do items” message, there is no table, go, or anything else aside from the message. If your docs show up, your processing, if your table is empty with no message, your parameter error, if you see the message only, your “to do item”.

For those who received a request in recent days to send additional FA documents or clarifications, what does your FA portal say? Do you see a ‘to do’, and when you press ‘go,’ does it show ‘processing’? Or perhaps there’s no ‘go’ button, and it just says ‘no current to do items found’?

Just clarified documents yesterday and my portal as of now has a blank "To Do’ and the hyperlink, then I press Go and my 8 documents show up as Processing. I spoke to an FA officer yesterday and she just said she updated and left notes in my file, said it was a “good thing” I called.

I’d like to add, before I got these notifications Friday my To Do list said “No items to do”… So I have no idea!

Based off this I think “no items to do…” likely means the finaid department doesnt need any more info and has completed their estimation. If they find out they need certain docs, it changes to intialized, and then processing when you recieve it. If we go based off this scenario, the finaid department likely found an error in buublezszz’s finaid documents and requested him to change it so they could update the package. Based on this assumtpion, the progression from proccesing to “no to do…” to processing again is evident that finaid packages are in progress. It also likely means buublezzszz is accepted considering that their updating his package a week before decisons.

This is interesting, thank you! They asked for a supplement other school have not, but they also asked for K-1s another school also requested a few days before RD release. I got in. I hope this portal stuff is at least a waitlist sign. Thank you all for your commentary! Best of luck to everyone, it/s so scary!!

Did you not submit a W2 form? I know a few people who submitted K1 instead of W2. If the K1 was a substitute for the W2 form, and they’re requesting it this late, it certaintly seems like they’re finalizing a finanical aid package and realized they needed your K1. Good sign I’d say! Best of luck to you

I had everything submitted on IDOC, but my parents uploaded their entire tax returns for 2 companies so it got split into a million separate uploads so the system didn’t upload one of the K-1s to my Cornell file when they requested it. This is what the FA lady said when I called. She just went into my IDOC and put them in my file manually!

I had parameter error until Sunday, but since yesterday, I’ve been seeing a list of documents in initiated/processing state.

this follows the idea that theres a progression: parameter error, processing list, and no to do items. Those who applied for Fa, do any of you have the parameter error, and did you apply for css?

My son applied with CSS and has both parameter error and a processing list. I understand the fun in trying to game this, but I don’t think it will lead to anything.

when we say parameter we mean you can’t see the processing list. both people who have the processing list and a blank table can see the parameter error when they click to do but those with the message can’t.

Hello, i’m international without applying for aid. I have the “No current to do item information found” and “There is no financial aid information found”

also if u guys click on the 3 dots → preferences → click on 3 dots → home → student center, can you guys see the “accept/decline awards” button under the finances section? does it give u the option to sign up for classes and stuff (this only works on iphone).

Yes I have this. Honestly, I think its a deny. My essays weren’t very good. Other context: I got rejected from JHU, WL Uchicago, accepted UCLA UCB etc

what do you mean.Could you give a ss of this

not sure man, its not letting me put screenshots idk why.

basically the to do checklist says No current to do item information found.

  • i think this is where people are seeing the processing/blank table/my message.

the"View My Financial Aid" page says “There is no financial aid information found”

  • i think this is where people are seeing like 2025 inquiry denied or 2026 inquiry denied.

I think u got in then
