<p>So, assuming that I do not qualify for any financial aid from the government, am primarily applying to private colleges, and get the FAFSA in by my individual colleges' dealines, does it matter how far in advance of the deadlines I turn in the FAFSA? Thanks!</p>
<p>Just make sure you get it in early enough for the school to craft a potential aid package for you buy the end of April…in other words…you probably should do it by March.</p>
<p>And don’t miss your school(s)'s deadlines.</p>
