Deadlines! Deadlines! Deadlines!

Paying for College

<p>Here is my annual thread!</p>

<p>Your colleges will have varying deadlines for both admissions and financial aid application forms. Do NOT miss those deadlines. In fact, try to submit at least a week or two prior to the deadlines. You never know when there will be a computer or server snafu if you wait until the last minute. Also, it takes time for things like the Profile to be processed...so allow ample time to meet the deadlines.</p>

<p>Schools have deadlines for a reason. It takes time to process all of the applications and financial aid applications. You need to do your part by submitting your materials in a timely fashion.</p>

<p>Especially with financial aid...do not wait until the 11th hour to submit your financial aid application materials. Some need based awards are limited at each college and the early bird catches the worm on those.</p>

<p>You need to check EACH college as the deadlines will vary by school.</p>

<p>Do NOT miss those DEADLINES!</p>

<p>Hi, thanks for the reminder. I’m new here and don’t really know how to use the site :confused: so i was wondering if you could tell me a bit about the common application</p>

<p>This site has separate forum that deal with separate issues. Scroll around from Discussion Home and browse them. Here is the forum for Common Application questions (you are in Financial Aid right now.) You should ask a specific question. </p>

<p>Mishi…the way to get a question answered is to start your OWN thread with your question. This one is about DEADLINES…not the common application. </p>

<p>Back to the OP…don’t miss those DEADLINES.</p>
