If you are applying EARLY DECISION…your school VERY LIKELY has a priority filing deadline date for the Profile that is either late October or early November. That “three months later” deadline for financial aid applications is very very likely to be for regular decision applicants.

Especially for Early Decision…and Early Action ( some schools will give you an estimated award with or shortly after EA acceptance)…your Profile OR a school form or both…would have to be received MUCH earlier. CHECK THOSE DEADLINES and don’t miss them.

The school will likely need a Profile done with VERY good estimates for the 2011 tax year…in order to give you an estimated financial aid package with your ED acceptance (should you be accepted). CHECK THE DEADLINES…I can’t say that enough times. Old timers here will tell you…I post a thread annually about CHECKING DEADLINES and still…many folks post about missing them.

CHECK EACH SCHOOL FOR ITS FINANCIAL AID AND APPLICATION DEADLINE DATES. DO NOT MISS THOSE DEADLINES. AND DON’T PLAN TO FILE THE NIGHT BEFORE…MANY STUDENTS HAVE REPORTED COMPUTER GLITCHES…PLAN AHEAD AND DO NOT MISS THE DEADLINES.
