<p>I submitted my CSS PROFILE on Feb 1. Today I got an email about submitting things to IDOC, and one part of the email said: “The last day that the College Board will accept IDOC packets is January 25, 2008. Packets received after January 25, 2008 will be returned unprocessed.”</p>
<p>Huh??? January 25, 2008 deadline?? First of all, that’s already past. Second of all, Harvard’s finaid website says March 1. What is going on?</p>
<p>chilllll it was a typo i just called them</p>
<p>On the IDOC Requirements page that you need to print it says “March 1, 2008”.</p>
<p>so its normally a 1 week wait after you submit css before you get info about idoc?
and wow, how can they have a typo like that? i bet they got inundated with phone calls</p>
<p>No, it is not a one week wait. They send out all IDOC notifications in February (for the most part). I submitted my CSS Profile back in November, and only now got the notification.</p>
<p>hey i know this an old thread … but am worried about the IDOC deadline … i realised 2day that i have 2 send everything via post (can’t courier it!!!) … an am int’l student … posted it 2day … will probably reach US around March 1st, but cant be certain. does that mean that my financial aid app is no longer valid (as in if its l8)???</p>
<p>help appreciated …
thanks</p>
<p>As I understand it, the IDOC deadline is something they post for ideal processing times. If you’re a bit late, you may not receive your financial aid decision at the same time as your admissions decision, but it shouldn’t automatically render your finaid app invalid.</p>
