Maybe apply for some scholarships? FAFSA is definitely important as you said and I would do that ASAP, but definitely applying for scholarships. Even before you get accepted to schools many will let you apply for scholarships. Also, there are many other places to look for scholarships. Best of luck!
You should look into scholarships. Other than that, enjoy your senior year! Don’t stop working and fail classes however… colleges can see your 2nd semester grades even after you are accepted.
Make sure you know all the forms and dates for financial aid for all your schools. There is more to it than the FAFSA, and every college has different requirements.
since I spent so much time on my college essays, I actually look forward to doing simple subjects like calc and bio. My fafsa is nearly done, and I guess I will do some scholarships!!
