FAFSA before college applications

<p>I just filled out the FAFSA (didnt receive the 2013 tax forms yet, listed as "will file" and used 2012 estimates which are pretty close based on paystubs) and I listed some colleges on the FAFSA but I haven't finished their applications yet. Should I be rushing to finish them before the FAFSA is finished processing or is there nothing to worry about?</p>

<p>There is nothing to worry about. The school will start a financial aid file for you.</p>

<p>You might want to get the applications done to get them off of your “to do” list…so you can actually enjoy your senior year!</p>
