Hey all!
Good to be back again. We finally got our car fixed, so maybe me and hubby will be able to go on our date that we missed. Stupid car! I can't wait till I can afford something a bit more reliable.
Anyways, my latest woe is over the application process for financial aid. I know it is partly my fault for waiting so long, but I didn't know I would if I would even be able to go college this fall until June-ish. So anyways, it's annoying because class starts in a month, and I am STILL WAITING to get the extra paperwork in the mail. I keep filling out papers, and then faxing them back, and whenever I can, I do applications online, all in an effort to speed this whole thing up. First they wanted me to fax them copies of all my ID gunk, like birth sert, ss card, marriage cert., etc., and then I had to wait for them to get all that, and NOW they have decided that I am suspiciously poor (we made less than $18,000 last year, if that's any clue) and they need to re-verify my income information.
So now I have to send them copies of my W2's, and more paperwork, and I only have ONE W2 that I can't find, so now I'm not sure if I'm going to have to have it mailed to me or what. I'm so scared I won't get through this process in time for school. I don't understand why they didn't just ask for me this stuff ALL AT ONCE that I had some time to get it together. And the paperwork the school was supposed to have mailed out on Wednesday still hasn't arrived. They live in the same state, so what's taking so long??
Is this NORMAL for the application process?
