Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>hey. when i did my fafsa i put for the schools to send to, my ccc, ucr, and ucm. i got into ucm. im thinking of staying at ccc for this fall so in winter 2010 i can transfer to a better uc. uc merced offers me a free ride due to my fafsa. </p>

<p>since going to another uc in the winter is an option, what should i do to get aid if i go there? im assuming right now all i do is go to my fafsa, make corrections, and just add the uc's to the school list. is that right? because then it would send my fafsa to them, but im guesssing since i havent even applied to them yet, they wont even consider me or something.. i dont know. i just want to know how to get aid as a winter transfer. i assume if i wait until im accepted (which would be sometime in the fall) that i would then send my fafsa info, but that would be too late, wouldnt it??</p>

<p>I am in a similar situation. I would have the fafsa filled out before the end of the July filing period just to be safe.</p>

<p>this is what i did. yesterday i edited my fafsa and added all the other ucs that im planning on applying to. not too long after i got an email back saying my correction was proccessed and sent to teh schools that i listed.</p>

<p>so now i guess all the uc’s have my fafsa info, even though i havent applied yet(ill apply in july for winter xfer). so i guess once i apply and they accept me(i hope) they’ll look up my fafsa info then… i hope by then they still have some award money left for prospective winter transfers</p>
