<p>"The fin aid stuff goes to different people to be reviewed and having it in late would probably just get you less money. Of course, the acceptance people might know that you're missing it, but I don't think they'll take that into account when making a decision."</p>
<p>so this is not absolutely true? I thought FA and acceptance was totally unrelated. no?</p>
<p>i missed the deadline to financial aid to colleges and im planning to write them that i dont need financial aid anymore (i initially said that i do). will this hurt my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>I would CALL the financial aid office, apologize for missing the deadline, and tell them that you are FedExing it to them immediately. </p>
<p>Include in the FedEx'd envelope a Post It note with one or two lines that say something like: Again, I am very sorry that I missed this deadline. Mr. Jones told me that you will still accept this form. My other forms will all be submitted on time.</p>
<p>Then keep your word.</p>
<p>Sorry but I have to agree with Hazmat. At least you have supportive parents.</p>
