<p>When do you submit a FAFSA? Do you submit it during the admissions process or after you get accepted? Also, if I am a rising senior in high school (class of 2010), do I use the 2009-2010 FAFSA?</p>
<p>The 2009-2010 FAFSA is for the 2009-2010 school year (the one tht starts this fall). If you will be starting college on fall 2010 you will need to complete the 2010-2011 FAFSA. This is not available until Jan 1st 2010. You do not have to wait until you are accepted at a school to complete it. Just include any schools that you are applying to. Complete it as early as you can. Make sure you meet all deadlines as set by your school(s).</p>
