<p>Does the AdCom have access to my family and my financial data? how will they look at my business (for financial aid, not admissions)?</p>

<p>And for the “estimated resources” column of the application… do they take that for real or what?</p>

<p>Yes, also, I know your '04 and '05 W2’s need to be sent (according to the PROFILE, at least). Where are they sent, the financial aid office or the admissions office?</p>

<p>Wharton is inifitely more selective than CAS…</p>

<p>:confused:</p>

<p>The OP was about financial aid NOT acceptance.</p>

<p>Go Grits…speaking out of school again. Read more reply less.</p>

<p>Hazmat, you are one of the most helpful posters on here.</p>

<p>Oh, and in response to the OP, I’m pretty sure JohnnyK, who works at the admissions office said that the fin aid work and the admissions paperwork goes in two distinctly different piles and two distinctly different final locations and dont overlap at any point</p>

<p>Thanks. I do try to be helpful.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, Hazmat was extremely helpful to me when I was “Business_Freak.”</p>

<p>omg, you’re the one that f’d the cornell board</p>

<p>^^^ Lets keep it a secret ;)</p>

10

<p>2004 doesn’t have to be sent. Only 2005.</p>

11

<p>sorry abou that</p>

12

<p>When I filled out the PROFILE, on the last page where it says things that need to be sent for specific schools, it listed '04 W2’s for Penn…</p>

13

<p>Lol, what happened on the Cornell board?</p>

14

<p>do they take your “estimated resources” into account when calculating the amount financial aid you get?</p>

<p>also, I was probably drunk when filling this out… I operate my own business (like many wharton applicants) but put $0 as my contribution and filled out $0 for all the student columns (income, assets) in the financial aid application… will this be a problem?</p>

<p>He made like 3 different screen names. He was acting like a homosexual and basically seducing…himself?</p>

<p>According to the link that hazmat provided in the fourth post of this thread, I don’t see 2004 W2’s anywhere on that page, only 2005s. So, I am not going to do the extra work for useless information. Why would they ask for 2004s when they could simply have updated 2005s that are more accurate.</p>

<p>Eckie, you do whatever you want to do. Maybe the Profile wasn’t updated and meant 2005s. I dunno, it just seems pointless. If I were an adcom, I would not want 2 sets of tax returns, each of which is about 25 pages long combining the parents and students.</p>
