<p>We were advised by the college counselor to not apply for financial aid on the common application because 1) we were unlikely to qualify for any aid due to our income level and 2) he felt it would help my son's chances of getting in ED. Well he got it in! Now we've been talking to folks and we feel that maybe we could qualify for some small amount. Is it too late, can we still fill out FAFSA and apply?</p>
<p>Yes you could file FAFSA/CSS profile until the schools deadline</p>
<p>If the school is not need-blind, I would contact them and ask them to change your status before filing, especially because if the school is need-aware, the fact that you were not applying for financial aid may very well have helped your son out.</p>
