I know it is pretty late to apply

The deadline for transfer applications is February 1st, 2014 so you are well within that time frame - you are not late at all.



Does applying for financial aids come before or after getting admitted?

Financial aid application materials, including the CSS/Profile, FAFSA and tax return information, are submitted BEFORE you hear about admission. There is a new financial aid deadline for transfer applicants this year of March 3rd. (In the past transfers shared the same financial aid deadline as freshman applicants which this year is February 10th.)

It is best to complete the FAFSA and CSS/Profile well in advance of the deadlines as sometimes you find you need additional information - be sure to leave sufficient time so that you meet all deadlines. Both the CSS/Profile and FAFSA are available NOW so there is no reason to wait. For tips on filling out the applications, get the book Paying for College Without Going Broke by Kalman Chany - it is an excellent resource.

Good luck.
