<p>Hey for Brown’s FAFSA… is the February 1st deadline just for the receipt of the FASFA info? or does it include processing of information?</p>
<p>01 FEB is the submission date.....meaning you have done your part and signed the thing. FAFSA will process and make available to Brown what is needed. Do you need to do a profile for Brown? I believe you do.....01 Feb. also. Have you done that?

<p>just about done with the PROFILE, thanks again for the help hazmat</p>
<p>sure, good luck and I hope you love Brown, I almost went there myself.</p>
<p>i sure do, i only hope i can get it :)</p>
<p>You mean the big bux? Where are you from?</p>
<p>Here is what you do.</p>
<p>Submit FAFSA -- first 6 colleges
Example: Amherst, Bates, Carleton, Duke, Emory, Furman</p>
<p>Wait for SAR - This will be transaction #01</p>
<p>Go online and select "Make Corrections"</p>
<p>Open transaction #01 - delete all 6 college and add new set.
Example: Grinnell, Harvard, Ithaca, Juniata, Knox, Lehigh</p>
<p>Submit - this will be transaction #02</p>
<p>When you get updated info from your taxes, go back to the FAFSA site.</p>
<p>Select "Make Corrections"</p>
<p>Open transaction #01. This is the original SAR that had colleges A,B,C,D,E,F.
Update the financial information with the final numbers from your tax return.
Submit -- this will be transaction #03</p>
<p>Now, open transaction #02. This is the SAR that had colleges G,H,I,J,K,L. It still has the old numbers. Re-enter the updated financial information with the final numbers from your tax return.</p>
<p>Submit -- this is going to be transaction #04.</p>
<p>(If you have more than 12 colleges, adjust instructions accordingly). It is easier to update numbers than add colleges because of the way the web site is set up. It will be also easier in the long run if each FAFSA has a unique set of colleges and you are consistent about maintaining the same sets -- that way you know that every time you need to make a correction to data, you will be doing it to the same number of FAFSA transactions, and you won't have to worry about keeping track of which colleges have received which FAFSA.</p>
<p>i selected "yes" for financial aid on the application, but now i dont want to go through with it. what to i do? do i have to contact each school that i applied to and ask them to cancel it or something? or do i just not fill out the FAFSA forms nd let it go? <em>confused</em></p>
<p>If i need to make corrections on the FAFSA (i already submitted it), will Brown have already downloaded the incorrect one (since processing will probably make it past 2/1 deadline already)? Or does FAFSA alert the colleges that there is a new one available...?</p>
<p>Can I still fill out the FAFSA and Profile if I didn't select "yes" for financial aid on the application?</p>
<p>Uh, why? Just for fun?</p>
<p>Well no, not exactly. I've always thought I wouldn't be eligable for financial aid but now I'm not really sure. I've heard its best to apply anyways, you never know if you'll get money.</p>
<p>Fill out the FAFSA first and look at your EFC (or better yet, estimate with an online calculator). If it's >47000, you probably aren't going to get grant or federal loan aid from Brown</p>
