Financial Aid Timeline Question Forum

[AJ_NY]

Hello all -

I have a question about the general timeline of applying for financial aid -

I've submitted my applications at the end of December/early January, and I've only heard back from 2 schools. I know some schools want you to submit your need-based application by Feb 15 or so, and I was wondering if we're supposed to submit those need-based and FAFSA applications sometime in Feb even though we haven't gotten any decision yet.

What are you guys doing in terms of FAFSA/Need-Access?

Submit the financial aid information on time, even if you haven't gotten your acceptance. If you don't get accepted it won't hurt you, but if you do and you've filed forms late, you may not be eligible for money/the money could be allocated already.
