Financial Aid Deadline

<p>The financial aid deadline for RD is Feb 1st and I just realized there are some things I have not sent and I am panicking. Will they still accept things if they are one or two days late? Does this go for other colleges as well? Please help.</p>

<p>Well, the email came from College Board asking for the 2009 tax forms. And I was warned that would come after the Feb 1st deadline which it did. So, it’s not clear why they have a Feb 1st deadline. Unless they just want to have everyone’s intentions. I guess I’ll have to fix the CSS profile to match the tax forms, which was submitted before the deadline, and then send that in too.</p>

<p>nevermind …</p>

<p>Agree, the FA deadlines are ludicrous - because they are “estimated”. So now we all have to “correct” the CSS Profile and FAFSA once our taxes are completed. It’s pretty easy for the FAFSA - you can do it online. The CSS Profile has to be hand-corrected and then sent to each school individually.</p>

<p>What a pain - I think they do it on purpose to dissuade students from applying for FA!</p>
