<p>nyuhopeful,</p>
<p>You have 12 days. That should not be a problem if you can call tomorrow when the NYU offices re-open. I am sure they can straighten it out in a relatively short time, in terms of making sure you have access to the ED Financial Aid Application link. </p>
<p>In the meantime, just make sure your parents have taxes for 2010 (or estimates if 2010 taxes are not done). The FAFSA is a relatively easy and straight forward form to fill out, in contrast to the CSS profile (yuck for the latter one. 
).</p>
<p>Anyway, your time should be OK, if you get in touch with NYU ASAP about the missing link. GLTY.</p>
