<p>This link says Feb 15th for pretty much everything...

<p>Just wanted to double check, since Feb 15th seems sort of late. Does this mean I do not need to worry about applying for financial aid at all until decisions come out (Dec 15th)?</p>

<p>If you need aid, it’s advantageous for you to return the estimate form so that you’ll have fin-aid awards when you get your acceptance. Otherwise you can’t make a decision whether it is financially possible for you to attend. The February deadline is the the actual fin-aid application. By then your parents and you have the the tax returns filed and the numbers reported are therefore actual.</p>
