Sorry if this question has been asked before, but if Duke received my CSS 3 days after the deadline (meaning they received it 12/03, with the non-priority deadline being 11/30), will this affect my admissions/application process as all? My counselor said something about them possibly moving me into RD automatically, but I’m not sure. I’ve emailed the Duke financial aid office, but while I’m waiting for a response, I’d just like to know if anyone knows the answer to this.
It really shouldn’t affect your decision. The financial aid office and admissions are completely two different departments and supposed to make independent decisions. I applied for financial aid after I was admitted early decision, so I don’t really think it makes a difference.
