<p>so Wellesley wanted the financial aid forms in by January 15... and i didnt know that. I know i know, DUMB. I thought almost every school wanted it on February 1. I havent done it yet, so what happens if i submit the forms in late? Say, two days late or so.. :(</p>
<p>oops: i meant missing the financial aid deadline</p>
<p>It depends on the financial aid office. You might get lucky, and they haven't open and sorted all of the forms, so they may just get put in with the others with no notation or penalty. Or you could have missed the boat. Not much you can do about it anyways. It won't affect the basic govt money, but some funds are dispensed on a first come, first serve basis, and if the school keeps careful track, then you could lose out.</p>
