I’m trying to check with colleges to confirm they received child’s FAFSA info before I delete the first batch of ten schools to add the next batch. I was told to make sure the schools received it before I delete the first batch of schools but the schools are saying they can’t see it until child submits the common app. Advice?
If that is what they are saying…then submit the common application…
Schools will add it to your portal. Or you can contact financial aid and ask. Just because you submit it, however, doesn’t mean they’ve yet to download it. Some schools wait until they’re ready. But if you’ve submitted, it will be there waiting for them.
If you’ve submitted and got the fafsa confirmation, wait a week and do the rest.
After you apply and see if it’s noted in the portal or not, you can reach out to schools fin sId that don’t note it. If you missed any, you can go back and redo.
Just be active and you’ll be fine. Every school we submitted to and we applied to 15 one year and 21 the next….they always got the firm but I did do a lot of verification to make sure.
