Does "Priority filing date" mean FINAL DATE?

Applying to College

<p>January 1, 2008 – Priority filing date for the CSS PROFILE application</p>

<p>Does this mean that January 1st was the final date to file a CSS profile application? If so I’m screwed…</p>

<p>Of course not. I sent in my CSS Profile after I got accepted early. No matter what you’ll get an award if you qualify. If you send it in too late as in like March, the award may come later though. </p>

<p>Just send it in as soon as possible.</p>

<p>Well what school? Because I thought most schools tell you their financial aid offer ALONG with your decision. And i’m panicing because I applied Early Decision II to Vanderbilt and I see this [Deadlines:</a> Vanderbilt University Admissions](<a href=“http://www.vanderbilt.edu/Admissions/applyDates.php]Deadlines:”>http://www.vanderbilt.edu/Admissions/applyDates.php)</p>

<p>“January 1, 2008 – Priority filing date for the CSS PROFILE application”</p>

<p>and I got scared.</p>

<p>Yale if it helps.</p>

<p>However if you sent it in late and got in early anywhere they can also notify you of your award along with RD applicants with your prefrosh package.</p>

<p>No, you’re not screwed. Call or email the college. <em>Most</em> colleges will take applications filed after the priority deadline, although it may mean you won’t be first in line when they start making financial aid deadlines, but if it’s a school like Yale that promises to meet need of all admitted students, you’ll still get financial aid. It is important, however, to contact them directly to get the full story.</p>

<p>how about Vanderbilt? They say they meet 100% need-blind no matter what the circumstance.</p>
