Does a request for Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC) give any insight to admissions chances?

I do not know about those schools specifically, but generally Financial Aid and Admissions are separate considerations/decisions. For my child, the IDOC requests occurred within days of submitting our CSS, but maybe your schools have a different process and consider ability to pay as part of the admissions decision.
In general though, I always think it is best not to try and speculate about admissions decisions. Students will know when the decision is sent out. It can drive one crazy trying to wonder if X, Y or Z is a sign. Relax. You’ll know when you know. Good luck.
