<p>So I sent my FAFSA and CSS Profile back when the deadlines were, but earlier today I saw something about applying for financial aid through CAESAR. Were we supposed to have applied for aid through CAESAR as well? Because Northwestern never sent me a username or password or anything like that to have a CAESAR account.</p>
<p>I am assuming you are a high school senior and waiting for RD notification? My S is a freshman this year and he received that after he was accepted and then there is a checklist on the Caesar website that has loan and other financial information on it you access. If memory serves me correctly that is where we received the actual FA package (as an entering freshman). My experiences this year with FA at NU is that they are organized and clear cut, with their systems in place to expedite communications. Good luck - it is a tremendous school.</p>
<p>Hi Browniez-
You applied for financial aid correctly. Ceasar is the platform that comes into play once you are accepted. Did you apply ED or RD? I am guessing RD-so-Fingers crossed for you!

<p>Thanks for the answers t-bone parent and APOL! Yes, I applied RD, I probably should have been more specific. I was afraid I might have missed something important; I’m glad to know that I did not. Thanks for the good luck wishes :)</p>
