<p>I just found out that Cornell wanted the CSS, the FAFSA and all the rest it postmarked and submitted by March 15th... Damn, I had no idea. I need to get this stuff done immediately. I know Penn has a later deadline (4/15) Do you think I'll be penalized? There is no way I'd be able to attend without FA...</p>

<p>I wish I could answer that but I'm in the same boat at another school.</p>

<p>How are you not on top of these things? One of the schools I applied to needed the FAFSA and CSS PROFILE and Tax Returns by March the 2nd. Guess what I did? Did mine and my parent's tax returns right when we got our w2s and got everything in on time. </p>

<p>At any rate, yes you probably will be penalized. Half of life consists of following directions.</p>

<p>Thanks for being a sweetheart.</p>

<p>I called Cornell - a few days won't make a difference.</p>

<p>if you can fill those out in less than a day congratulations</p>

<p>I can't go ANYWHERE unless I get some financial support. One of the first things I did was organize a spreadsheet of due dates (for applications and financial aid docs).</p>

<p>I turned mine in a month late. Can't speak for other schools but Cornell's FA office doesn't give a crap as long as they get it eventually. They're usually so backlogged that they probably wouldn't even process yours for another month so what's an extra few days?</p>
