<p>The above stated^^ I'm worried because I am just now submitting in a lot of stuff, and the documents pertaining to my Dad's business are atrocious. Will this jointly affect my financial aid AND my chances of being accepted?</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you mean by “documents pertaining to my Dad’s business are atrocious”. Most schools are need blind so I doubt it will affect your chances of acceptance. And even if you don’t qualify for FA that would still allow you to borrow an unsub Stafford.</p>
<p>If you are WAAAAY past the date for submission of the financial aid applications, this MIGHT affect your financial aid prospects. Some schools will allow a late submission and others simply will not award you aid (except for the Stafford loan and a Pell grant, if you qualify).</p>
<p>Your admissions will likely not be affected.</p>
<p>BUT please…get in the habit of MEETING deadlines in the future.</p>
