I did not think that I would qualify for financial aid so I did not fill out the FAFSA for one of my applications after I submitted my common app, but on my common app, I said that I wanted to be considered for financial aid!!! Now my portal has a big red X next to the FAFSA received listing and online it said the FAFSA for my application for the FAFSA deadline already passed, and I am scared that my application isn’t going to be considered complete!!! What do I do??? Will I only not be considered to receive financial aid or is the school not going to review my application?? Should I email my admissions rep??? I don’t know what to do!!!
Wrong forum
If you want to be considered for financial aid…get the financial aid forms completed ASAP for any college where you need or want aid.
This has nothing to do with admissions…but everything to do with financial aid.
Was the omitted college an early decision application?
The FAFSA deadline has not passed. The PRIORITY deadline for your schools (or this school) may have passed, but that may mean you can’t get your FA with your acceptances or that you may have missed out on some of the FA the school controls (SEOG, work study, the school’s own aid). You can file the FAFSA and still qualify for Pell grants and federal loans. You can even do that after you start the school year.
Yep! It turned out that the FA report just wouldn’t be finished at the time that I got my acceptance! Thanks for your help!!!
