I do have documents that show up here, they show as processing. I don’t think it points towards any signs though, likely just a financial aid processing thing.

Datapoint, I still have all my documents labeled as processing. (Dyson, more or less expected)
My financial aid documents all show “processing” too. I found that if I log in using my iPhone and click the 3 dots on the right upper corner and click “preferences” and then the 3 dots again, there is a “home” button . If I use iPad or laptop, there is no "home’ button. After I click Home , I get directed to “student center” . Anyone tried this before?
Thanks so much for your reply. I’m glad that she’s enjoying her time at Cornell - We’ve heard it’s an impressive program
I just got an email 30 minutes ago with a personalized note asking for more financial aid information. Anyone else? It’s asking me to submit these docs through a “secure upload” It also includes a “student ID number” at the top of the email that’s different from my application ID number.
My DS received a similar email the week of ED decisions. We had questions about it and the upload and the aid office was very nice. Try to do it ASAP.
Thank you. It’s just really confusing. They’re asking for house value confirmation, asset confirmation, and just a bunch of other things. I don’t know how I’m going to ask my dad to help me with it without him going crazy 
That is standard information for your parents to answer if they want to be considered for financial aid. Why would he go crazy?
I actually got this same email last week. I uploaded the required docs, and in 3 days my to do list changed to “no current items found”
It’s just a lot of information, and we’ve already filled out similar requests for 2 other schools in the last week.
Student ID number and all
Something like this?

it seems like I could use the waitlist correspondance form, and my dropdown menu looks like this
I never checked this before does it always look like this?

mine looks the exact same. They added self reported sat scores this week I think
Yeah, exactly like that. With the id on top too

This is from FA, not from a specific officer. This is just if your IDOC was missing something, or they found some error in your FA app. Not an indicator for admission.

It’s been like this since I got my portal.

Does anyone have access to submit the waitlist form? It automatically selected my college as soon as I logged in, and my FA docs show processing. Does this mean I got waitlisted??
my friend did not have the waitlist form (showed 404 error after logging in). I think we’re up to something! I have it btw
I have the form as well!
