<p>Do colleges ask for financial forms with your application or do you wait until you are accepted to send them?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>With or shortly after your application. Check the college websites; they have the timelines.</p>
<p>They can't wait until acceptance because generally with or shortly after your acceptance you get your FA package. Otherwise you wouldn't know how much each school would actually cost you before you had to decide where to enroll.</p>
