<p>Hey guys, new to the forums and I am preparing to apply for UCLA, Berkeley, and USC as many of us are. This is all pretty new to me since I have never applied to a school before since I went straight to cc after high school. So my question is, when do I start applying for things such as FASFA, financial aid, scholarships, and etc? The only things I know is that the deadline for UC's are November 30th while USC is in the beginning of February. Sorry if this question have been already asked and thanks in advance for the responses.</p>
<p>FAFSA isn’t available to submit until Jan 1, 2010. However, if you go to their website, you can see the things that you will need and be ready to fill it out ASAP. When you do fill it out, be aware that you can put in estimates and then modify it when you finish your taxes. It’s important to send in FA information in a timely manner, be sure to check the college websites for deadlines.</p>
<p>Scholarships vary, so you’ll need to check websites for the individual schools or outside scholarships you’re interested in.</p>
