Is March 1st IDOC deadline a hard one?

<p>Just saw the March 1st deadline on Collegeboard website for submission of the IDOC info.</p>

<p>Arg…that’s what I get for starting full-time work & letting my deadline monitoring slide.</p>

<p>It’s just one school for son (Rice) that is 1200 miles away and notoriously expensive (& we haven’t heard an acceptance yet, either). </p>

<p>Just wonderd – before I jumped into photocopying everything – if the collegeboard deadline is a hard & fast one, if anyone knew? </p>

<p>Sorry for the multiple fin aid posts…</p>

<p>Don’t know about Rice in particular but I do know that you should not rely on the dates from the Collegeboard website for deadlines as there have been many instances of them being inaccurate…I would recommend getting your info directly from each school’s website, particularly for finaid dates, if you really want finaid.</p>

<p>I would guess not, but no evidence.</p>

<p>Call up the schools if you’re really nervous, IMO.</p>

<p>Jolynne, it’s March 15. Schools like Rice are getting ready to send both admissions decisions and finaid (for those accepted) in about two weeks. They DO need time to process your information. If your child is really interested in getting financial aid from Rice, I would say…get that stuff in the mail ASAP.</p>

<p>^ That is true.</p>

<p>Actually, it surprises me that they haven’t contacted you… most of my schools contacted me - at least through an e-mail telling me to check my finaid document checklist.</p>
