<p>the amount of financial aid is dependent on when you submit your application? Someone told me it was like first come, first serve, but I don't remember reading anything about this kind of policy....?</p>
<p>Absolutely not.</p>
<p>Omg, you go to Yale!! That is one of my top schools. 
And thank for responding; someone said he/she already got an interview with Harvard, so I was getting a bit worried since I haven’t turned in my application yet.</p>
<p>It does not. (However, it may affect your financial aid package at schools with rolling admissions or those handing out limited number of merit scholarships.)</p>
<p>Harvard financial aid is remarkable and their staff are very helpful. Recession or not, you don’t have to worry about Harvard running out of money any time soon - especially in the area of financial aid for students.</p>
