^ I got that e-mail, too. But think about it - if you are getting financial aid, then you have to scan and upload the financial aid letter unto iPenn to show how much you’re supposed to prove to be able to pay, right? But if it’s not a finalized financial aid letter, then you’re going to have to reapply for an updated I-20 in spring even if you apply for one right now. This is what ISSS told me when I called them a couple days ago.

Also, the e-mail says to start ASAP for other internationals because they actually need to schedule an interview/wait for the visa to be processed, etc whereas for Canadians, you simply need the I-20 (which according to ISSS takes about 3 weeks during peak season).
