How do I know if I should apply for aid?

<p>I've gotten mail from the schools I've applied to about getting started on applying for financial aid. Acceptances to UCs haven't been sent out yet so how do I go about that if I don't even know what school I've been accepted to or if I'm even accepted??</p>

<p>It’s recommended to list all schools you applied to on your FAFSA application. This way, you’ll get considered for financial aid to any of the schools you’re accepted to that you decide to enroll in. It can’t hurt you to do that.</p>

<p>Put in your top schools that you have a realistic chance of getting in and would like to attend when you fill out your FAFSA. </p>
