Interview & Financial Aid, help

<p>Hey,
Few questions:</p>

<p>1)I am confused about the Penn interview. Is it part of the admissions process or no? I called Penn and they said it is not, it is merely informative for the applicant. Is this true? On collegeboard it says interviews are considered. If anyone here has had an interview or knows about this, please help. The reason is because Penn has a suggested deadline of October 15 for "better chances to have an interview". </p>

<p>2)Also, the sfs and penn site says the penn financial aid supplement will be available in October. However, I need to fill that out soon, especially if I apply by the suggested deadline. Does anyone know if it is up somewhere else, or when it will come up?</p>

<p>3)And If anyone knows what forms are needed to be completed with the ED application for financial aid, please help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
