<p>I think my mom is going to have trouble meeting early FA deadline (most are due 2/15). I already submitted the CSS profile to all my schools but submitting FAFSA by 2/15 might be an issue. Do colleges have some lienecy as to when forms are received? FA is big factor in which school I end up going next fall....</p>
<p>If you can complete the CSS PROFILE, the FAFSA will be easy to complete. A lot easier, with less information. </p>
<p>Just complete with estimates from last year’s numbers. Estimate higher if you aren’t sure. Go back and correct. Do it well before the deadline - especially if your college choice is dependent upon the package.</p>
<p>Meet the deadlines. Some colleges only look at late submissions AFTER the ones on time have been submitted. Another thing is that schools have limited funding for some forms of need based aid, and it is awarded on a first come first served basis.</p>
<p>If you had the estimated info for the PROFILE, you should be able to complete an estimated FAFSA.</p>
