FAFSA Frustration

<p>Hi All,
The title says it all doesn't it? The website has a tiny little blurb about how they are experiencing "issues" with the form and they are working on it. The first issue I had was being unable to see the school choices when I did a search by any means, including the school's FAFSA number. Finally got that working on my laptop (I prefer working on my PC though, as I am now). Now I can't type in a number larger than 3 digits in the financial information section. I'm sure I'll be able to fill in the form eventually but right now I just want to throw my computer out the window! Although I'm thinking I may need to try replacing my video card first or downloading some Norton upgrade or patch or something. Got rid of stupid Google Chrome so that's not it.....whatever!</p>

<p>Anyone else having similar difficulties? Sometimes sharing the pain helps put it in perspective.</p>

<p>Sorry for your experience…however, I had no trouble. Yesterday, I completed the process for my triplets…completed all 3 in about an hour. I am using Chrome.</p>

<p>Keep at it…you will get through it!</p>

<p>Your video card has nothing to do with filling out a web form!</p>

<p>The school selection was a problem for me when using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10, so I switched to Chrome. And it worked. So getting rid of Chrome might have been a bad move… I got all the way through using Chrome with no form issues (only issues where I am too dumb to figure out what numbers to fill in!).</p>

<p>My S has not had any problems with the form, our frustration has been with gathering the info! My paystubs are now online - could get onto the website but could not download or view the document. My H could not access our tax return. S didn’t even know he had paystubs from work because it has been online from the get-go. I’m sure they gave him log-in info when he started, but he had no idea. So he goes up to work to talk to someone about it and brought home a cookie to soothe me!</p>

<p>I also had to switch to Chrome.</p>

<p>I had the same problem with the colleges not showing up yesterday. I hit the refresh button each time I wanted to add someone and then they showed up. I’m not using chrome - have laptop with windows 8. Try refreshing … a bit frustrating, but it worked and was able to complete the app.</p>
