<p>Hello, I have a question about what seems to be a rare problem when it comes to applying for financial aid. My parents and I will send in FAFSA, etc. in the next few days, but we have an issue regarding our tax returns. It says that the deadline for 2008 tax returns is in april, but my dad always files for an extension, and I mean ALWAYS. It's really annoying, what should I do? Some people have told me to send in the form showing a request for an extension (that's what NYU wants), but johns hopkins doesn't really mention it on their website or in their literature. It's really worrying me, because I know we would qualify for financial aid, but I'm afraid my file will be overlooked because of this. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>
