I still didnt submit some of the FA forms…will this hurt my app?
I have a green check mark next to my FAFSA. I’ve been coming back and forth to this thread, so have we come to any conclusions if this means anything? Also, does anyone know the percentage of applicants wait listed last year?
Guys I got rejected
Are people saying that under the section named FINANCIAL AID CHECKLIST, there is an option under federal income tax return, w-2 forms, and UChicago financial aid worksheet/css named “FAFSA”?? This is so disheartening lol
Has the RD list been released?
I just called UChicago and they said that decisions will come out at precisely 4PM this afternoon in the prospective student portal!
@eskaliding 4PM cst?
How do you know you got rejected smithereenbean?
My guidance counselor has a friend in admissions and he called
@smithereenbean Why did you say you were rejected?
Maybe @smithereenbean’s memes weren’t dank enough.

Nevermind, I just saw your other comment @smithereenbean. Want to call for me? 
@TheNICKNAME Yes, atleast for me. Why did people even consider this as a possible suspectibility in the first place? Isn’t the financial aid department and admissions department completely irrevelant to each in terms of admissions?
Is the FAFSA being on the checklist and the checkmark irrelevant now or is this a forewarning?
@jk1998 Yes, 4PM CST today
@smithereenbean I’m sorry
- there are planet of other schools :)! what does your portal look like?
@TheNICKNAME We’ve got no idea. I’m inclined to say no, for reasons I’ve outlined 5-10 pages back, but we’ll only know for sure when decisions have been released - when the point will be moot anyway.

Post by UChicago:
Hi @VaishS. There is an issue in the sync between two of our systems, so, while the glitch is being fixed, the FAFSA item is removed from the checklist. We’ll add it back in when the issue is fixed. Overall: any changes to that checklist can happen for a number of reasons, but any changes that happen after you have submitted your materials should not be viewed with concern.
@eskaliding Oh thank you!
Well, if admissions is needblind, and to the extent that FA offers are sent out with acceptances, then admissions has to let the FA office know who was accepted before they inform the students themselves. It wouldn’t be cost-effective to have FA put together offers for the vast majority of applicants who don’t get admitted.
