<p>Hi guys! Just curious how long it takes typically for a school to receive a FAFSA. I submitted mine last Wednesday and it has not been received or at least processed by my school. I know I may seem impatient, but I know that the earlier I get it in the better and I don't want to miss out. Also, I submitted my CSS Profile last Tuesday and it was received last Thursday; why I was wondering why the FAFSA took longer. Thanks for any insight!</p>
<p>Schools are notified when a FAFSA intended for them has been processed and is sitting in a database. Schools upload the FAFSAs on their own schedule. There have been posts from finaid officers here that they get uploaded in batches usually.</p>
