financial aid application deadline--late?
I'm applying to UW. The deadline for financial aid was february 28, but i submitted my financial aid application on march 5th which is a week after the deadline. Therefore, will i be at a disadvantage because of that? i know i won't be denied because when i attended at a community college, i didn't apply for financial aid two months after the deadline has ended. although it was late, financial aid still gives me money for tuitions, money for books and a few extra hundred dollars for personal use. However, since i will be attending a bigger school, I'm afraid that i might receive less.

- Financial aid is awarded based upon the information you put on your FAFSA application. It doesn't matter whether you attend community college or Harvard. What you qualify for doesn't change because of the school you attend. That said, expenses (tuition, books, lab fees) may be higher at your new school than community college so your award may not cover as much. Good Luck.
