Am I screwed

<p>Well, I applied to Boston College early action already and just realized that their CSS deadline is on Nov 15. I was ignorant of that information. Is their still a way I can apply for financial aid just by filing a FAFSA form or am I screwed.</p>

<p>Ask them...</p>

<p>Well...you should call BC. The FAFSA can't be filed until January 1. BC computes it's finaid awards using institutional methodology. They award money that is THEIR money as well as federal dollars (that is what the FAFSA only does). To have a complete finaid application for BC, I would guess you need to file both forms. The EA deadline for the Profile is likely for priority consideration so they could give you an estimated finaid award if you get accepted. Call them and see what you should do. They may tell you that your finaid will be done with the RD round. Let us know what they say!!</p>

<p>I called and the lady politely said that I am a little late but regardless to do it as soon as possible.</p>
