<p>I want to apply Early Decision but still haven't submitted the Common App, UPenn's Supplement to the Common App, or the Penn Financial Aid Supplement. The reason why I haven't submitted any of those yet is because I am applying for the QuestBridge Scholarship. On the QuestBridge Website, College</a> Match Program: Penn Requirements, it says that if I am a QuestBridge finalist, then I do not have to submit a Common or Universal App. However, I won't be notified until this Friday, the 24th, if I am indeed a Finalist or not. If i were a Finalist, then there would be no problem. If I am not a Finalist, I would continue to apply to UPenn through Early Decision. Unfortunately, the deadline for all forms is November 2. The problem lies in that the Penn Financial Aid Supplement is one of those forms. In order to fill out the Penn Financial Aid Supplement, I need UPenn to send me my MyPenn Applicant Portal username and password. Unfortunately, they won't send me my username and password until I send in my Common App and UPenn supplement, which I won't do until I know if I'm a Finalist or not. Given that I'm not a finalist and i submit my Common App and UPenn supplement on the 23rd, i would only have about 10 days to receive my MyPenn Applicant Portal username and password and fill out the Penn Financial Aid Supplement form in time. My fear is that it will take a while for UPenn to process my Common App and the UPenn Supplement. So, my question is if I don't receive my MyPenn Applicant Portal username and password until after Nov. 2, meaning that I won't be able to complete the Penn Financial Aid Supplement, will I be illegible to receive financial aid or even be admitted to UPenn? Thanks for your time.</p>
<p>i had the exact same question. I wont be able to send my app in till a couple days before the deadline lol. But i found this out from research:</p>
<p>You will need your Portal UserName and Password to access the Student Financial Services Penn Financial Aid Supplement application. Student Financial Services deadline for Early Decision applicants is November 1, 2009. However, if Student Financial Services receives all documents by Sunday, November 15, 2009, they should still be able to process your application by the EDP decision date of December 12.</p>

<p>so i guess we can still submit all of our stuff by nov 15 from what is posted on their site. Plus if you think about it, they have to give people time to submit the financial aid stuff for those people that submit their application on the deadline date. Otherwise they would have the deadline earlier and the financial aid deadline later.</p>
<p>Why would you not submit your common application if you don’t know about the QuestBridge stuff? This seems like a question which answers itself. Do more than you have to; if it winds up irrelevant, oh well. If not, count your blessings.</p>
