<p>When a school says that February 1st is the deadline to submit the FAFSA... is that the day we submit it online, or the day it actually gets processed?</p>
<p>For example, on my processed FAFSA report, it says that the date I submitted is Feb 1, while the date it got processed is Feb 2nd. Many of my schools have a deadline of Feb 1. </p>
<p>What's the deal with that?</p>
