<p>This is from my tacked thread at the top. DEADLINES!!! DO NOT MISS DEADLINES!!!</p>

<p>Schools have deadlines for a reason. Don’t expect them to extend the deadline for you. Get the forms done on time. Check each of your colleges for required forms and documentation…and the deadlines for submitting those forms. Do not miss the deadlines.</p>

<p>Schools have deadlines for a reason. They have thousands of students applying for admission and financial aid, and they need to get all of this processed in a timely fashion. When you miss a deadline, you are jeopardizing your financial aid prospects. Do not miss the deadlines.</p>

<p>Deadlines for financial aid (and admission forms) have been posted for at least a year on most school websites. It is the student’s responsibility to find out these deadlines. Asking for extensions at the eleventh hour is not good form. These are well posted in advance deadlines. Do not miss the deadlines.</p>

<p>And even if the college says they will still accept your finaid application after the deadline, that does not guarantee you still have a chance to get any aid. You also will never know if you could have received any more if you had gotten it in on time.</p>
