Hello. I am a student who is planning to transfer. I submitted Fafsa to 10 schools before the deadlines, and recently I decided to apply to three more schools. So for the schools that I have already applied, their deadline were like 2/1, 2/15, 3/1 and my Fafsa was processed. I removed three schools and added three new ones and I submitted like an hour ago. I think I am so studid and I am so worried if I screwed up. So will those schools that I submitted Fafsa before the deadline think that I am late since I am submitting a new one? or will they know that I submitted before? By the way, my parents are not U.S. citizens, so I am going to ask them to sign the paper today, and I will sent the letter to Fafsa tomorrow. I am so worried right now. Please help me. Thank you everyone so much.
I have to go to bed now, so I won’t be able to respond right away, but I will check right after I wake up tomorrow. I really appreciate all comments.
It is ok to remove three schools and add three new ones. It does not affect the original schools.
@JBSeattle so they will still have the one that submitted earlier, is that correct? And they know that I didn’t miss the deadline? Thank you!
Not sure about the deadline. Just saying that original schools will not care if you resubmit.
Whoops! Yeah, you are ok as long as you submitted at some time before the deadline. They do not care about you resubmitting as that is what you have to do when you resubmit.
@JBSeattle Thank you so much! I feel much more relieved now
The schools you submitted to BEFORE the deadlne will be fine.
If you add schools and newly submit to those schools…the date you initially submit to THOSE schools will be your submission date for them. So…if you missed some kind of deadline…contact those colleges and see what they say.
@thumper1 Thank you for the reply. So for example, USC wants to receive Fafsa by March 3rd, and I submitted before then. I did not removed USC from the list when I make correction to add a few more schools yesterday. USC will still know that I did not miss the deadline. Is it correct? I really appreciate your reply.
Anything you submitted previously…or before the deadlines are submitted.
Anything new submission will be the date of that submission.
@thumper1 Thank you so much. I feel much better now. I mean it! I hope that I will get into the school you want to go if you are applying.
