Yeah I dont think the boxes mean anything but I think the missing fafsa does
It’s ok!
@VaishS you think missing FAFSA is good or bad?
@emilyskates thank you! (Btw do u figure skate? I do too!)
I don’t have that 
Do you guys think that they’re processing the fafsa by last name? My last name starts with X so I was just wondering
@ddark0 Yup! Let’s be friends. And my last name starts with T, for reference.
Can someone clarify what the missing FAFSA is?
@tutututututuru I think that not having the FAFSA is a bad sign bc if you were accepted they would need to start working on your FA while if they weren’t accepting you they would have no need to look at your FAFSA and thus they wouldn’t upload it
@graceann some people have the FAFSA in the Financial Aid checklist on their portal and some don’t and we are debating whether it means anything or not
@VaishS but why would Chicago give us a hint like that?
Actually. They probably underestimated the power of CC.
thanks! does everyone have the other stuff? like the Chicago Financial Aid worksheet and parents’ w-2 forms? @VaishS
@graceann yeah I think everyone has the other stuff
@emilyskates it’s totally possible lots of colleges have dropped big hints if you’re crazy enough to find them (most aren’t)
@VaishS What drives me nuts is that these colleges obviously know who is accepted like just tell us already!!! Sorry. Can you tell that I’m kind of impatient?
Do you have any other examples of colleges “dropping hints”, @VaishS ? Not doubting you, I’ve just never heard of it.
@emilyskates haha its ok, we all are at this point!
@tutututututuru Check out the NYU RD thread. In years past, housing or FA changes at NYU had been associated with acceptance or something.
@tutututututuru WashU sent packages to people who were accepted (supposed to be delivered the next week) and we could just see (on UPS tracker) who was set to get a package and those were the ones who were accepted
Berkeley had weird boxes for the ones who get accepted
I have seen a few more too but these are just a couple examples
@Scriant thanks, I don’t have that but I’m a deferred ea so i don’t have the ‘attention applicants’ box at all. thanks!
i do have my fafsa still on there
No fafsa on mine…
