Financial Aid Confusion

<p>Hi all,
I finished filling out my FAFSA and the CSS Profile a week ago. Are the colleges suppose to notify me if they received my FAFSA? How am I suppose to know whether or not they received it? I've been constantly checking my accounts to the colleges I applied to, but none of them mention it. I applied to SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Stony Brook, SUNY Buffalo, NYU, Cornell, Boston University, Northeastern. THanks for any help!</p>

<p>Most colleges will update your student link mostly to let you know what is MISSING. It takes the schools a while to upload the FAFSA information, and a while for the College Board to transmit your info to the college.</p>

<p>Just keep checking your student links.</p>

<p>Colleges don’t necessarily begin bringing the FAFSAs into their systems yet - I don’t even have next year’s software loaded, so my 2013-14 FAFSAs are sitting in a file, waiting … </p>

<p>Give it some time.</p>
