Missed Harvard's financial aid deadline

[randomcat]

Filing deadline was Feb 12th, and I missed it by a week. I feel totally stupid about this, but I have no excuses for being negligent. I am a first year master's student in the school of public health. Does anyone know if missing the filing deadline means that I won't be getting any financial aid? It does say that " Please note: If you do not apply by the priority filing date, you will still be considered for federal loan eligibility.  " So it seems like I won't be getting any need-based aid then? Does anyone have insight on this?

I honestly don't know how financial aid will work at the graduate level, but I've known their financial aid office to be incredibly lenient about internal deadlines for undergraduates (as in they'd take forms that are months overdue). Hopefully, you can work your problem out if you get on it immediately.
