accepted!!! with the King Scholarship. I got rejected from each one of the 20 schools I applied except for Dartmouth!!! international applicants that really need financial aid: apply to Dartmouth!
I am posting this to help future applicants. Some weeks ago I received the following email:
xAlthough the Admissions Committee is still deliberating, the Financial Aid Office is currently reviewing Class of 2024 documents. We want to ensure that when candidates are selected for admission, we will have sufficient information on file to make a financial aid decision. […]"
I send the ISFAA and they forgot to waive the CSS. Ok. But the strange thing is that none of my friends that had missing documentation received this email too. A friend of mine found a thread from 2013 on CC with exactly this same email. They were doing a correlation between this email and admission. All of them were either admitted or waitlisted. So I begin to found it strange. 2 weeks ago, I received the same email because a “signed custodial parent tax income statement” appeared on my portal. My friend got the same email due to the same cause. less than 2 weeks ago I received a personalized email asking me about a specific information that is on my ISFAA. in the same day, I got an email about interview. My friend got the same email from the same person (fun fact: we had the same interviewer before). We told her that we already had interviews, so it did not happen, but we couldn’t stop thinking about why would Dartmouth care about interview two weeks before the decision date. I have not sent signed copies of my parents tax income, just the tax income. I thought they would ask me that but they didn’t. Well, me and my friend are now recipients of the King Scholarship and will happily attend Dartmouth for the next 4 years.
This generic email that I quoted before is indeed a red flag of admission.
