<p>Hi, I plan on starting college in the spring session. (cuny new york) and was wondering when would i need to submit a fafsa in order to receive financial aid? would i apply from now or wait till i start school? thanks.</p>
<p>Your school should show a deadline on their financial aid website - for most schools it is several months before starting school - certainly never after you start. I would suggest applying ASAP.</p>
<p>You definately need to get your PINs now. Don't forget you need one and one of your parents needs one.</p>
