<p>The sheet I got in the mail didn't specify when the PROFILE/FAFSA were due. I think the PROFILE deadline passed. Should I submit it anyway? Help!</p>
<p>it's due 2/1.</p>
<p>submit now.</p>
<p>thanks. is FAFSA due then too?</p>
<p>yes. i'm submitting both tomorrow.</p>
<p>best wishes, Oasis131. :)</p>
<p>ahh. thanks again. a lot.</p>
<p>no problem, girl! anytime!</p>
<p>i look forward to meeting you at the accepted students' weekend, whatever that's called. hopefully we both are admitted. :)</p>
<p>my dad is crazy and hasnt done the fafsa, he believes that deadlines dont mean anything. he thinks that he needs to wait til april to file his 2004 taxes in order to fill out the fafsa, ive been telling him for the past month to fill out the fafsa and that it is due feb 1 and that its only 2003 taxes, but he wont listen. now tomorow is feb 1 and he hasnt done it yet. what do i do????</p>
<p>my dad didn't do the 04 yet either. you can estimate them on the fafsa. hopefully it works out for you!</p>
<p>crisis over, he filled it out tonight. i am such a ball of stress. about the littlest things too. i need to work on figureing out how to destress.</p>
<p>Hannah -breath in, breath out</p>
<p>lol...</p>
<p>go for a run. it usually works for me.</p>
<p>or vanilla ice cream. mmm. no stress!</p>
<p>lol hannah, my dad didn't do it last nite until about 10:00...and made me sit there while he muttered to himself and mocked me for having no assests:) talk about bonding.</p>
<p>Do you ever wonder why a needs blind school needs to know your financial info before you are accepted? Why do they want the W-2s from the families of a thousand people who won't end up going there?</p>
<p>yeah, that is weird. a little fishy.</p>
<p>my dad refuses to do it!! he doesnt understand what it is, he keeps yelling at me that its not necessary and that its the same thing as the CSS and that the school isnt the only one the uses it. he says that the federal government doesnt give grants! what do i do?? i keep explainign to him how it works and he just calls me an idiot and wont do it. even though i told him that he only needs to answer a few questions, why is he doing this? its in his benefit to fill it out. hes insane, i should get him commited. should i call wellesley and explain and ask them if its ok if i send it late??? will they still take it?</p>
<p>that sucks HannahBanana. maybe you can negotiate w/ your dad and get him to give you a copy of last year's 1040 so that you can fill out the FAFSA on your own. that's what i did w/ my parents since they have absolutely no idea how this college thing works and it worked out fine. i just had to ask my dad for answers for a couple of questions that i didn't understand, but everything else is right on the 1040 (they even give you hints on where to find the information). anyways, i hope that helps!</p>
<p>Hannah, is there a family friend or a school councilor that can understand this process and explain it to your dad? Perhaps you could get him to call the admissions office and ask a reasonable question, "what do I need to do and what are the implications if I don't?" In the meantime, you could ask financial aid at the college, but I think it needs to be fixed at your end of the line.</p>
