<p>just have a few questions about financial aid. I just checked my "financial aid to do list" and it says that there is no "to do" information. Does that mean I'm set? Im just unsure because I never filled out the CSS profile. Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>The CSS profile and FAFSA don’t show up on the to do list for me, but you have to do it. Check the main financial aid site for Cornell to know all the stuff you need to send.</p>
<p>You still need to do the css profile… and mine was just updated today.</p>
<p>the site says the deadline was the 15th, is it too late to fill it out?</p>
<p>You should contact Cornell and ask them, but you should fill it out anyway and send it in ASAP.</p>
<p>I think the Feb 15th deadline is not for transfers. According to financial aid website, all financial aid materials are due by March 1, 2013.

<p>I would just send it. I missed some deadlines and they accepted my documents graciously. They were very nice about it, too.</p>
<p>^I agree. Send it in. Reading between the lines, it sounds like this is a record year for applications and, with all of the financial uncertainty, an exceptionally challenging year for university financial aid departments. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ivies blow past their alleged March 28th “Ivy Day” decision deadline. Not to jinx things but I would go ahead and book your travel to visit whatever school you think you have your best shot to get into and have enough aid, around the third week in April. I recommend Southwest because you can change without penalty, but this way you’ll have the tickets at a decent price. Otherwise you could be scrambling as a huge number of kids headed to schools around the country, who are going the hear back late this year (again, IMHO), and they are all going to want to fly that same weekend.</p>
