<p>Due to change circumstances we would like our child to apply for FA now even though on common application the check box for ‘no’ was clicked.</p>
<p>You’ll have to contact the colleges. It depends upon the schools but it may change their admission decisions.</p>
<p>So the admission is not need blind. My child has applied to HYPMSC.</p>
<p>You need to check with each school. Every school has their own policy when it comes to this. Some will not allow a student to apply for aid in the future if they have said on their application that they will not apply for aid. I believe this may especially apply to international students for whom admissions may not be need blind at some schools that are otherwise need blind. Other schools may have no problem with it. Really only your schools can tell you their policies.</p>

<p>Wow!! Which one is the safety:)</p>
<p>swimcatsmom:
We are US citizen. You are saying that we need to contact admission offices of HYPMSC and ask if we can fill the FASFA.</p>
<p>Cann’t we just fill FASFA and indicate the college ids of the HYPMSC.</p>
<p>thumper1:
My child has already got early acceptance from one of HYPMSC, so that is the safety.</p>
<p>Congratulations on that early acceptance to MIT. You will need to fill out the FAFSA AND the Profile for all of those schools in order for financial aid to be processed. Since most are need blind, it shouldn’t be a problem…I wouldn’t think. BUT once you’ve been accepted, they CAN look at your financial situation and they might be saying “whew”…this one didn’t need finaid. I agree…call the schools and see their policies.</p>
<p>
Yes, but most, if not all, of your schools require CSS as well as FAFSA. Schools that use both generally use FAFSA for any federal aid and CSS for their own institutional aid. You will have to file both for those schools that require both.</p>
