<p>i applied for the 2012-2013 fafsa about 4 days ago. But today, my teacher was telling my class that the first day to apply is actually Jan 1 2013. Does that mean mine's invalid? also will i be able to do another one? please help me!!!</p>
<p>The FAFSA you need to do for the 2013-2014 school year is the 2013-2014 FAFSA. This becomes available on January 1, 2013. </p>
<p>The 2012-3013 FAFSA is for the CURRENT school year. </p>
<p>No harm done but you WILL have to do the 2013-2014 FAFSA to be considered for aid for the next school year.</p>
<p>The real question is</p>
<p>When will you attending college? 9/2013?</p>
<p>If you are starting school in the fall of next year, then the FAFSA for that year is not available until January 1st.</p>
<p>Having done the wrong one will not cause any problems, but the one you have done will not count for anything, including meeting any deadlines. Make sure you do the correct one as early in the new year as you can. The good news is now you have had some practice doing it, plus the personal data (not financial) can be used to “populate” next year’s FAFSA.</p>
