<p>i got accepted into usc without applying for financial aid cuz i thought that it would lessen my chance of getting in and i really didnt think we'd need it. however, my mom wants me to apply for financial aid now. she says that if i dont get any financial aid i might not be able to finish college as they wouldnt have enough money to finance my education. so now i want to know if i can still apply for financial aid even though the deadline has already past?</p>
<p>You can always apply because you never know what will happen. You should not expect to get anything outside of whatever federal aid you would be eligible for because all of the need-based/merit money may have already been allocated</p>
