financial aid deadline ?

<p>Today, jan 24, we received a FA deadline grid from LC and it said that the deadline for css and fafsa was 1-15 for RD, but at the bottom it said that LC's system cannot record receipt of the FAFSA until Febrary 15.</p>

<p>I had to do a double take (all the other schools that we are applying to, the deadline is feb/mar something)- is the deadline to submit FAFSA and CSS really January 15 or is there a typo ? I am still waiting on three sets of w2's and some dividend stmts. I have called the three employers and they told me 1-31.</p>

<p>Any one with any experience in this - if you submit your forms after this date, is the FA option gone?</p>

<p>Ironic since this was a big reason for applying to LC - FA.</p>

<p>I realize it is on the website, the 1/15 deadline - I cked - but why wd LC send a FA deadline tickler correspondence on 1/24 for a 1/15 deadline?</p>

<p>and how do you fill out the forms without the necessary info?</p>

<p>roderick, Thanks for noticing. I just called admissions and yes the FAFSA and Profile were due by 1/15. I haven’t received all my W-2’s yet either and this year was a strange year with three W-2’s, so I’ve been waiting, but was told by someone in admissions to just estimate it and get it in ASAP so just do the best you can, but get it in in the next day or two if possible.</p>

<p>Give your best estimate.</p>

<p>THAAAANKKSS. I tend to want to give exact numbers in this area. So I’ll give best guesses.</p>

<p>You estimate. No need to wait, use last year’s taxes, your last pay stub from this year and estimate.</p>
