Late FAFSA?

<p>I just found out that I made a stupid and potentially very serious mistake when I logged on to see my financial aid, and realized that there was nothing there.</p>

<p>What I realized is that earlier this year, I mistakenly only sent my FAFSA to another UC school, thinking that all the UC's would get my FAFSA like how I sent my SAT scores to just one UC campus, and all of them got it. </p>

<p>I mistakenly thought that I just needed to send my FAFSA to one UC campus.</p>

<p>So now I sent my FAFSA to UCLA today, and as of right now it is March 23, 2013. I heard that people who send in the FAFSA after the deadline get limited financial aid, so HOW seriously screwed am I? Is there a chance for me to still get grants?</p>

<p>I'm from out of state, so I really need all the financial aid I can get in order to attend this school. Does anyone know how badly I'll be affected?</p>

<p>Honestly as you are OOS, you would probably receive very little, if anything, in terms of financial aid even if you turned your FAFSA in on time, unless you got some sort of merit scholarship like Regents. You can try to establish residency in California but that is difficult to achieve.</p>
