<p>^ Good point…and not only schools, but also states, have different deadlines! They have a list here, but I’d recommend verifiying state aid deadlines with your own state’s dept of higher ed…lots of kids seem to miss the early CA deadlines every year (which is March 2nd btw) but CA is not the only one with a March deadline. And remember to allow several days for processing time!</p>
