<p>Hey i completely missed the Feb 1st deadlinw for FAFSA..which is kinda bad. I submitted it today...sooo does this mean i don't get aid????</p>
<p>this is bad</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm also concerned. My parents just got last year's statements/whatever yesterday and I was off in Key West at an academic competition, just got back home 2 hrs ago. Will submitting it today be detrimental to the aid I receive?</p>
<p>You CAN be penalized for submitting it past the priority deadline, but for a school like Harvard - submitting it a day late should not overly be detrimental to your chances for top aid. Still, if you had submitted by the deadline date - your priority for aid would absolutely be locked in.</p>
<p>RELAX!
I called the financial decisions office and they said they don't mind at all. She said the actual deadline for the FAFSA was 3/1 even though the Harvard site recommended 2/1.</p>
<p>What the hell??!!</p>
<p>I had to freakin' rush to fill out the FAFSA and PROFILE using W2 forms I had gotten on January 30th, and now they say it's March 1st?!!</p>
<p>Whatever, now all that's left is IDOC.</p>
<p>well 2/1 is for priority, which means you get advantage. i think submitting it by 3/1 would just give you leftovers.</p>
<p>haha, leftovers from Harvard's Financial Aid office? I wouldn't mind.</p>
