<p>I applied for a pin early January and got the email saying it was ready to be activated. I went to that site plugged in my information and it said my answer to the challenge question was wrong. After three tries it told me that this pin was deactivated and I had to apply for a new one. I reapplied and again tried to access it. The challenge question for this one wasnt even the one i selected on the application. The first time, maybe I did something wrong, but the second time, i know i had all the info correct. So friday I applied for a third pin. I have my FAFSA complete, it's just waiting to be signed with the pin and I have several Feb 1st deadlines. I hope I get the email with the pin today. If it doesnt work, im calling the FAFSA number and the colleges that have deadlines for Feb 1st. Did anyone else have any problems getting their pin? If i have to submit after Feb 1st, will I not receive aid? I already sent in the CSS PROFILE without a problem.</p>
<p>The colleges I'm applying to that need FAFSA are UT Austin, University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago, Rice, and Washington University in St Louis.</p>
