<p>Hey guys I had a couple of questions about applying for financial aid. I am going to be starting university in fall of 2013 as a freshman and I wanted to know by what date I have to fill out the application by. I know that the application opens on January 1st but I won't know where I got accepted till middle of march. So do I have to know what school I'm going to be applying to before I fill out the application or does it not matter?</p>
<p>You do NOT have to know which school you’ll be attending when you apply. You list all the schools that you’ve applied to.</p>
<p>Look at the dates on the web sites of your colleges for the required dates for application (it will be earlier if you applied ED or EA).</p>
