<p>so yeah, unbeknownst to me, i missed the deadline (it was yesterday) for two of my schools. i was unaware that they were so soon. is there anything i can do, aside from getting the stuff to them as soon as possible?</p>
<p>well, this sucks...</p>
<p>am i basically just not gonna receive any aid from either of these schools?</p>
<p>Do the css/profile now. The FAFSA isn't normally done this early because you need to have tax info. I doubt if it is going to hurt you, but get the css/profile in so that they know you are in the system. You obviously won't get any FA offers until after you have been accepted, and the universal acceptance date is April 1st.</p>
<p>For the FAFSA, you do it online, and you need to electronically sign the form using a PIN. You apply for the PIN separately, and both you and your parents need separate ones.</p>
<p>Do the FAFSA now too (using estimates from your 2004 return)...and amend it when you complete your tax returns which should be ASAP after Jan 31.</p>
