Deadlines

<p>I dont need FA nor do i need the scholarships. However, if they give me, then a big thank you!!! But even if its needblind, wont applying for the FA affect my acceptance?
Hm, this is kind of confusing.
If i apply by the dec1 deadline is it similar to the “early action/decisions” in that i get my acceptance letter earlier than if i apply regular? If yes, why will that not hurt my application?</p>
