<p>Also, be aware that you cannot apply for FA after decisions are made. So if you think you qualify, call the schools tomorrow, explain your son driving the process, and ask if you can still get the documents in. They may give you only a few days to do so, but if you cannot afford to send him without it, you need to either apply NOW or pull his applications. At SPS and Exeter, the need for FA could be the difference between admitted and waitlisted. Even with Andover, you still need to have that FA application on file.</p>
