Regarding FAFSA deadlines (Submitted vs Postmarked)

Paying for College
1

I submitted my FAFSA early to some schools (UCLA etc)

However, I submitted my FAFSA on March 2nd 2017 to several other schools (USC, NYU etc)
Have I submitted my FAFSA late? The state deadline is March 2nd 2017(post marked). Does this mean that I will be passed on for state aid? My FAFSA was only processed on March 3rd. USC’s deadline is march 2nd. Does this mean that I was late and did not meet USC’s deadline?

Thank you.

Did you submit the fafsa electronically?

What about the Profile? USC and NYU require that too.
