<p>I just sent my FAFSA a few minutes ago; I don't have regular internet access at home, and I for some reason I just completely forgot to send it yesterday. A few of my schools have a Feb 1st deadline, while others are later, so I'm not too worried about the later ones. However, for Duke and UChicago, the deadline was yesterday. Is it ok if I missed the deadline, and sent it in as soon as I could? I'm really worried now...can't believe I was stupid enough to forget :(</p>
<p>I can't believe it will make a major difference. The first several days after the deadline must be reserved for opening envelopes, filing reports, and other organizational stuff. The finaid websites are so busy at the end of January that many folks end up sending their info a day or so late. You won't be the only one!</p>
