We will miss the FAFSA and CSS deadlines for pretty much all schools. H says we are still waiting on one more document still needed for preparing/filing taxes - which will arrive Tuesday. Throws hands up in the air.
Snow here, with a temp of 36. I think that qualifies for hot chocolate, right @readingclaygirl, though not quite as cold as your weather.
Congrats, @DAPIStained!
Good luck to all waiting for schools or working on forms.
@Undercovermom1 Why are you not submitting with 2014 data until you get your 2015 data. How will missing the deadline affect any scholarships your child will get?
We did file estimates way back in January for both, though. Are the corrections due by the posted deadlines?
I talked to one college and said we wouldnāt have our taxes by the due date but we already submitted FAFSA with 2014 numbers. She said no deadline for the corrections, but get them in as soon as possible and they would adjust when received.
Bless you @crowlady!
@carolinamom2boys we did file using 2014. I was just having a heart attack about filing the corrections. 2014 and 2015 will be very similar.
It is a very nice day here in California with temperatures in mid 70th. We are having a ācook offā at my house today so all my virtual friends here are invited as well. Hope everyone if having a great day.
Iām with you @Undercovermom1 . We get our 1099 on Tuesday and then a mad dash to update FAFSA, CSS, and turn in the dreaded IDOCS. Iāve finally given up my iron grip on all things college related and put H as point person for financial aid docs. As a math teacher who loves numbers, he thinks doing taxes is āfun.ā
@kittymom1102, a while back someone on here said that collegeboard posts dates and then says their dates may not be accurate. I submitted everything with updated information last week. I did forget a $14 1099 which I just submitted.
Does anyone elseās IDOC have a message next to the students non taxpayer verification form that says, āComplete new verification form.ā My original has been recieved by colleges so I donāt know if I need to redo this
It is funny, I did not like math in high school. But I enjoy doing our taxes. I also used the EFC formula to estimate our EFC before submitting FAFSA.
@readingclaygirl, we just had real cold weather the last few days, today it is sunny and warmer. I think it might have moved to NY.
@Ballerina016, thanks for the invitation to the cook-off. D16 has just finished making Valentineās crepes, and so we will be over with those. In a virtual way.
@mysondad I donāt see any message in Sās IDOC thing.
Itās snowy and cold here. Bah! This former California girl is jealous of those with warmer temps!
Cornell is the one outstanding school for us @Mysonsdad and their due date is also blank on our IDOC as well. I am lucky to have everything done. All of the Cornell paperwork says 2/15.
Our Mizzou visit was awesome. The Honors college and J school seem to be a perfect fit for S. Today I sent withdrawals to most of his schools. He received very good merit offers from two schools in Cal and he really loved them both, so those are on the table for a while longer. The best thing is seeing him happier than he has been in a long time about this process and the future!

That is wonderful @CAMidwestMom ! Congrats to your son. 
Happy your son is happy. @CAMidwestMom
@undercovermom1 I canāt say for sure that the policy at the one college is shared by others, but it isnāt an unusual problem to not yet have all 1099s or 1095s. Might be best to ask at the schools you are most concerned about.
@texaspg DD got awarded Stamps Leadership Scholarship and 18 incoming students were awarded this year. DD said one of her summer camp friends got the scholarship too and he was already accepted to Harvard during EA. So not sure he will take the scholarship.
I am not sure when U of Mich and Stamps Foundation changed the scholarship as full-ride but it was not full ride a couple of years ago.
@DAPIStained Wow! Stamps is a great scholarship <:-P
@DAPIStained, I am so happy for her! Itās an amazing honor!
