<p>no, we should be fine. It'll just take longer to process our FA apps. And it has nothing to do with accepting admission or not.</p>
<p>ok, thanks a lot. i appreciate your patience because i have absolutely no idea what's going on. my parents and i didn't really think about this THAT much because we're in that great and wonderful position where we're too rich to get decent aid but too poor to afford college without it. i guess that's why i was pulled into stanford, because of the great aid it supposedly offers. </p>
<p>if i fill out a css, do i have to do a fafsa too? is there a difference?</p>
<p>You have to fill out both.</p>
<p>Yeah there two completely different forms and you have to do both of them. Apparently the CSS was due on November 15th but the fafsa gets filed later.</p>
<p>question.
I need about 10k more in aid. Will being accepted to Stanford make it easy to this amount of scholarships?</p>
<p>all right so if i submit the css by tomorrow, i should be fine?</p>
<p>i thought it was due dec. 9th</p>
<p>i thought it was due february 15, like it said on the website.</p>
<p>Is the basic award letter that lists student and parent payment requirements in a pdf file permanent? or is it just a temporary estimate that could be change?</p>
<p>Its temp because they need a 2008 tax return. Additionally, FAFSA, a necessary component in aid becomes available next year.
hope that helps</p>

<p>I think you had to submit it to Stanford earlier this month. I just remember my dad was checking the Stanford website in November, and found out that the EA aid deadline was fast approaching. He rightly got mad at me for not checking the deadline. At least he found out well before it was due.</p>
<p>ugh. i'll send it soon then.</p>
<p>the css profile is a pain in the rear for anyone who hasnt done it yet. and no, just because you messed up does not mean they are going to make you pay 50G now. even with our economic decline, they are still giving out massive amounts of financial aid and working with every individual. After talking directly to a recently retired admissions officer, he said that getting in is the hard part. After that, they will do whatever it takes to make sure that out of their 2400 acceptances, that 1600 come to their school, because teachers cant teach empty chairs. They WANT you to come and wont put you in an unmanagable paying situation no matter what. If that is your number one choice, go for it, (fill out the css asap :P), find some other scholarships to help too, and try not to catch senioritis!</p>
