<p>So my FAFSA was processed and there is a astrik by my EFC. Then int he comments section it sayis the following:</p>
<p>"Your FAFSA has been selected for a review process called verification. Your
school has the authority to request copies of certain financial documents from
you and your parent(s)."</p>
<p>What do I do now? Do I need to send any document to the government? Or do I only send documents to the schools if they request it?</p>
<p>you only have to send documents to the school if they request them.</p>
<p>A couple question...</p>
<p>Will this whole verification thing hold back my financial aid process?
My college decision will be based off of who gives me the most generous financial aid package (AND THAT IS 10 SCHOOLS I NEED TO HEAR FROM). I am just worried that because of verification, I will not recieve all my financial award letters (or whatever they are called) in time to make a decision (that is in May 1!!!!). Am I gonna be fine? Or am I screwed?</p>
<p>Also....When I filled out the FAFSA I used estimates and than was selected for verification. Is there a chance that once I correc the FAFSA using correct information that the selection for verification will go away?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>as long as you hand in the documents quickly, you will be fine.</p></li>
<li><p>you probably will still be selected for verification.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Do I still recieve and Aig Package even if slected for verification. Meaning..I get an aid package in time just to see what thye are willing to give me and than give me documents for verification?..Or will I not recieve a package until I submit all my documents?</p>
<p>you have to submit your documents before you are packaged.</p>
<p>Hmm...I heared Aid packages usully come out mid-march to early april which means if I recieve my aid packages around late aprill..its gonna be a last second decision....ah...gotta love this Fd up college process.</p>
<p>You can always speed up the process by completing your taxes as soon as you receive the W2's and such.</p>
<p>We were selected for verification two years ago and all the FA packages except one were pretty much finalized when they notified my son on his acceptances. The last FA package was finalized around the 3rd week of April.</p>
<p>^wait, what do you mean notified on his acceptances?
cuz I already been accepted to 8 schools...but the FA package wont come till later</p>
<p>Viperm90</p>
<p>Almost all of my son's schools notified in March.</p>
<p>alright I see...lets hope everything is gonna be ailright :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses everyone!!</p>
<p>viper, when I initially applied to college I was selected for verification and NONE of the colleges that I applied to and were accepted at (with FA packages) asked me for any documentation other than what was required by the school.</p>
<p>Now obviously it will depend on the schools you applied to but from my experience it is not a big deal and should not delay the process.</p>
<p>Wow, thanks for this thread. We just got ds's EFC back and the comments said the same thing. I don't care - we told the strict truth, but we can <em>not</em> afford for this to hold things up - he is applying to a bunch and will decide based on FA packages.</p>
