Ok, it's quite inconvenient that the FAFSA priority deadlines at most schools are in February yet the acceptance/waitlist/denial letters for many schools haven't come back yet. Will this be a hindrance, or does meeting the priority deadline not really matter? I got an acceptance packet from Emory a few weeks ago and I realized the deadline was March 1, so I submitted it only a few days ago. Other schools I am interested in will receive it late....is that a problem, typically, for receiving aid? It's not like there was much I could do about it as they all got back to me rather late...
Also, it seems like only Emory School of Law uses CSS Profile. Anyone know any others that do this? Seems a bit odd.

Why is this inconvenient? You need not have been accepted at a particular institution in order to list it on your FAFSA.

Yeah. I failed to read that stuff. That said, at least it was on time....right? I just hope it won't affect my candicacy too negatively.
