it can take several days for the idoc to process after you scan and upload all your information
If the IDOC documents arenāt processed tonight, what happens? My to-do list doesnāt even have initiated (just says nothing to do), and I have to upload one more IDOC form however Iām scared they wonāt be in on time now because theyāre taking so long to process what I already uploaded. I did my fafsa in October, but my IDOC and CSS we submitted last night and need to upload one more form.
I think thatās a question for Cornell Financial aid groupā¦ you might have to explain any extenuating circumstances of why it wasnāt done earlierā¦ or maybe they wonāt careā¦ so itās probably worth contacting them.
Whatās the Idoc? and where does it state we have to turn it in? Ive only turned in my css and my fafsa
My cornell to do list is completely empty
@shark62 the idoc is listed on the instructions for applying for aid on Cornellās website. Itās a secure service for uploading financial documents like W2ās and tax returns
@grotonMAdad for IDOC are we supposed to receive an email regarding it from collegeboard? I used my collegeboard financial ID with my birthday to login but it did not allow me access to the page.
@shark62 Me too! I turned in my FAFSA and my cornell financial aid todo page has been blank so I thought it was setā¦
When we filled out the CSS profile and had Cornell as our school, at the very end it did say something about idocā¦ and thereās detailed steps and video tutorials here https://finaid.cornell.edu/apply-aid/prospective-applicants We did get an email to the studentās email address from College board with idoc instructionsā¦ so you may want to double check for that
Has anyoneās Financial aid to do list updated yet? Iām pretty sure it was supposed to update yesterday, but mine all say āinitiatedā still
@Benedictiral mine only has initiated as wellā¦ Iām unsure if that is a sign I havenāt gotten in lol
@irandolph even though thereās rumors about whether or not it foreshadows your acceptance, I guess we can just wait for a week or so and see if anything changes :ā)
Applied ED to the Hotel School. I filled out a request for an interview and within the week received an email saying it was approved. However, as it said in the email, I did not get a follow up from an alumni to schedule a time for the interview. Anyone else having this problem?
I spoke with Fin Aidā¦it still says āinitiatedā because the info hasnāt transferred over to them yet. They told me not until next week and you will get an email if anything is missing once they review it. Hope that helps you! Good luck 
Applied for ED and just received email from Cornell. Starts with " I am delighted that you applied for admission to Cornellā¦" Ends with āWe look forward to getting to know you betterā¦ā Not sure how to interpret it. Any others get this email?
@Nighthawk74 that sounds great! What is your intended major and your stats?
@Nighthawk74 from history those get sent to legacy applicants I believe. Are you a legacy?
DS got the same email. He is a legacy and it was curiousā¦we werenāt sure how to interpret the letter or read between the lines? Was it setting him up for upcoming news of a deferral from ED to RD? I think the whole process has made us paranoid, lol!
Just emailed the financial aid team. they say its fine to turn in documents into the idoc late, and that it wonāt have any affect on your aid. however, turning them late will also cause your financial package to arrive later than your decision if accepted.
Also my financial aid to do list shows up as āNo current to do item information found.ā Does anyone know how to fix this? I emailed the financial team but they gave a vague response saying I had to apply for financial aid but I already have by sending the fafsa and css?
