May be a dumb question but at what point do you have to submit your FAFSA/look into financial aid for an MBA program (outside of merit scholarships)? Is it before/around the application deadline or only after you’ve been accepted?

Dumb question but should I wait to apply for financial aid until after (if) I get into bschool?

Realizing I didn’t even consider when to apply for financial aid lol

Also curious. Haven’t even thought about financing yet.

Fafsa opened October 1st. The earlier the better in terms of securing the most funding

One application for all of your schools. Tied to your social security number. But yes, you have to go to the Fafsa site to access the application

Hi Everyone,
I hope life is treating you well.
I recently moved to Ottawa from Louisville, Kentucky, and I am looking for an accounting job in Ontario or Quebec. I have work experience in Tax& Finance and an MBA in Accounting. I was wondering if any of you could refer me for an open position in your company ( after we’ve had a chance to talk, of course) or put me in contact with a member of your hiring team.
Please let me know if any of you would be comfortable doing so.

Thanks,
Sarah
