<p>So i just submitted my fafsa form today (12/28/2013) and it was the 2013-2014 one.
Now im realizing that i needed the 2014-2015 one because im planning to attend college in the fall of 2014 and now i feel really bad and am scared half to death. I need help! I dont know what may happen! Do i wait for the processing to be done?? Do i call the fafsa help line and tell them i filled out the wrong one on accident?? (Because i literally did this on my own due to non-english speaking parents)
Please help me ease my nerves i really dont know what to do and im bawling my eyes out in pure fear!!! :"( what do i do???? Please help mE</p>
<p>Breath. Stop crying. Relax.</p>
<p>You’re fine. Nothing’s going to happen with that fafsa. Just fill out the new one when it comes out.</p>
<p>It is not a big deal. The FAFSA results will be sent to the schools you listed, but as you are not attending, no aid will actually be awarded to you. Just fill out the correct one when it becomes available. It is good you realized this now and not in several months time when you had missed all the priority deadlines.</p>
<p>And look at the positives! You HAVE all that estimated information AND you now know what it takes to complete the FAFSA. On January 1…it will be that much easier to complete the 2014-2015 form! Just read carefully because sometimes the form changes from line to line.</p>
<p>Good for you for being all set to go!</p>
<p>I actually had exactly this problem yesterday. </p>
<p>My son will be a college freshman in fall 2014. I got on the FAFSA website and completed the entire form using figures from my 2012 income tax return and other estimates just to see what to expect when I have to do it for real in another month or so and to find out what our EFC is and if maybe he would qualify for a Pell grant. </p>
<p>I submitted the application, thinking there would certainly be a way to delete it once I got the information I was after.</p>
<p>WRONG - no delete option.</p>
<p>So first I called the FAFSA help line, in a bit of a panic like you are, and a very nice lady told me not to worry. That the form will be sent to the university, but because my son isn’t enrolled there yet (although he has paid his matriculation fee to hold his spot in the class of 2018), they will simply disregard it.</p>
<p>Not believing her, I then called the university financial aid office and was told pretty much the same thing.</p>
<p>So don’t worry. You (and I) didn’t cause any real trouble.</p>
