Common App: "Do you intend to apply for need-based financial aid?"

<p>If you answer no to this question for a college, can you still later apply for financial aid? I applied to Boston College, and at the time I filled out my application I wasn't planning on applying for finaid, but then I decided I was going to, but forgot to change my answer. I already submitted my application weeks ago. Is it still possible apply for aid, should I call the college and try and work something out? I probably won't get financial aid given my family's income, but I don't want to risk any chance I might have.</p>

<p>Call the college and ask them to change your answer to YES. Then make sure that you submit the Profile and the FAFSA in time to meet the deadlines. Did you apply ED to BC? If so, you may have missed a priority filing date for the Profile. Check the website to see.</p>
