Basically I have been an idiot and missed some specific financial aid form deadlines, some by days and some by a month. I’m debating what should I do now to minimize the hurt. Should I apply anyways and hope for the best or just not apply? And does this affect my admissions chance? Please answer this question truthfully, because it is very vital to me! Thanks in advance.

Financial aid doesn’t affect your chances for admission at all.
If the deadline you missed was for scholarships, then you probably cannot still try to apply. Those deadlines are firm and they won’t consider your application after the deadline.
If you missed the FAFSA deadline, then all is not lost. You can still apply. The first deadline you missed was probably the priority deadline. This deadline is the day that the schools start putting together financial aid packages. In the case of some programs such as need-based state programs and some federal programs, the money does run out. If you reckon you would qualify as a very low income student, then you have probably missed your chance for some of this aid. But, there is other aid such as the Pell Grant and stafford loans that are offered year-round. So, if you qualify, you would get these no matter when you applied.
