can I UNcheck the "no i will not apply for financial aid" box?

<p>First I thought I was applying for financial aid. then it turned out I wasn't. anyway, after they are all done and sent, i find that my parents want to apply. i guess what they didn't realize was that i had to either check or not check the financial aid box, and i checked that i didn't need it because that is what they told me. </p>

<p>so. can i call a college and say "hey i actually am applying for aid", or is it too late because of that box?</p>

<p>thanks a bunch</p>

<p>and ps i am calling an admissions/finaid office about it later this week, but wanted to get an idea of the response i will get first</p>

<p>On the same subject, I have a friend who checked "No, I will not apply for financial aid" but instead ended up filing the FAFSA. Will that look bad?</p>
