<p>I am applying for fall 2009 undergrad and if I want to apply to financial aid from the school, I would be looking at the fall 2009 deadline or the spring 2009 deadline? I am a little confused on that because on some sites they only display spring 2009 and say apply even if you aren't accepted.</p>
<p>You will apply for the Fall 2009 deadline. Some schools may not update their web site until next month just before the new FAFSA comes out.</p>
<p>If you’re applying EA or ED, some schools want your aid application in the fall so that they can provide you with a financial aid estimate in December, along with your admission notice.</p>
