For merit aid? There are only a teeny number of colleges that require the Financial aid forms for merit aid consideration…because those schools consider need when awarding merit.
What was your FAFSA EFC?
What school? If the school is need aware for admissions, it’s very possible that you were admitted partially because the school expected NOT to have to give you institutional need based aid.
My bet is there is a priority deadline for ED students to submit their financial aid forms. Since that deadline has long passed, it might not be showing any longer for this year on the website.
If this is NYU, the ED priority deadline was November 15. NYU clearly states all over their financial aid page that all forms must be submitted by the deadlines. But call them and ask yourself.

You need to contact the college. They will tell you their policy regarding early decision admitted students and the financial aid deadline. You also need to understand that even if you submit the Profile today, the school might not have a financial aid package ready for you in time to accept or decline the ED admissions offer. So…ask about that too.
Frankly, if you expected to receive institutional need based aid, you should have read the website more carefully.
ETA…if this is NYU…don’t hold your breath. Even if you submit the Profile, the school is notoriously stingy with their institutional aid. NYU does not guarantee to meet full need for all…and they done. And they also use their institutional aid to lure students to attend. Clearly, they don’t need to lure you!
