<p>Arbiter213 and APOL: thank you very much for the replies.</p>
<p>I just want to make sure that I understand this. If I don’t supply my FAFSA and CSS, there is absolutely no chance I’ll receive any aid whatsoever, and I’ll have to pay the $13,864/quarter out of pocket or with loans (or, of course, independent scholarships)? That seems to be a pretty huge amount of money.</p>
<p>Also, on my common application, I wrote that I will not be applying for need-based financial aid. Would it reflect poorly if I send in my FAFSA/CSS?</p>
