@bizmlover Thanks a bunch, I was expecting this to be a process that requires a lot of half-hoping and pushing from my end. I called Berkeley financial aid and they told me the same thing basically, to just wait for the FAFSA to update and if they need verification they’ll ask for it then.

Which brings up another question: I originally sent my FAFSA to 5 UC schools at the time I submitted it (months ago). However this time I just chose to send it to two schools I was deciding between. Is that fine? I don’t have plans to attend the other three schools I “took off” the list. My main rationale was that having it update for all 5 schools would be a pain as each school might independently do their own verification process, and I thought it would be an inconvenience especially if I didn’t have any intention to go to the other schools (now that I know where I’ve gotten into and am deciding between). I guess the question is just, do I have to worry about the other schools? Or just leave them be and don’t look back? Haha
