Hi everyone, Electrical Engineering major here.
I received my acceptance letter last Saturday, and sent my transcripts on Monday. Still waiting to hear back.
I understand that the priority registration deadline for FAFSA was March 2nd, however I’m puzzled as to how I was supposed to apply by then if I didn’t know whether I was going to get accepted.
Should I apply now? Am I supposed to apply after they verify all of my grades?
Thank you in advance,
Jake
Even if you don’t know if you’re going to get accepted to certain schools you can still list them on your fafsa application. That’s why many schools send reminders to submit the application on time. You can still apply now and you should ASAP. Edit: also, it’s possible that you may get less financial aid because the priority deadline has passed, but I’m not 100% on how it works.
Yes, you should have listed the schools you planned on attending before March 2nd. It doesnt matter if you does not matter if you havent gotten into the school.
The reason you list the schools you plan on attending is so they can have your financial information and can determine your need. Apply immediately so you can get financial aid.
The FASFA deadline is June 30th but as above posters have stated, CPP wants the paperwork in by March 2 so they have enough time to determine your FA package. I would submit it as soon as possible.
Thanks everyone. I just submitted my application.
