<p>We went throught the FA process of submitting FAFSA, CSS/IDOC. tuition. Not that we are rich, but because we still have jobs and bought our house many years ago, we found out that our estimated EFC > tuition. We are discouraged and do not feel like sending in the 2008 returns to the schools or IDOC. Anyone know if not completing the FA wil hold up admission decisions at private colleges? Thanks.</p>
<p>We are also receiving reminders from colleges.</p>
<p>You do not have to finish your verification - I doubt it will hold up admissions. It will just keep you from getting any aid. Please remember that you most likely will not be able to borrow an unsubsidized Stafford loan if you don’t complete your verification. Even students whose EFC is greater than the COA can borrow 5500 unsub as a freshman.</p>

<p>It probably won’t hold up admissions. You do not have to complete the financial aid applications. If you decide not to actually complete the application process, you could call the school to let them know that you will be a full pay student. At some places (and especially in this economy) one would think that might actually help you in admissions since the school doesn’t need to give you any money to attend…and you will be paying the full costs.</p>
