Financial Aid questions

I haven’t checked the website for new students but I wonder if any confusion/discrepancy is due to the fact that they’re using IDOC for the FAFSA this year.

On a separate note, and I suspect that Smith isn’t alone in this, I have a small amount of annoyance that all the Financial Aid correspondence is addressed to the student, doubtless under the aegis of some Privacy Act provision. I suspect that in 99.4 percent of the cases for Traditional Non-Independent students, it’s the parents who are filling all this stuff out. I worry about some important piece of information, such as a letter saying “Deadlines changed!” or something, slipping through the cracks.
