Received email that stated they were still waiting for FAFSA?!?

We received an email from the financial aid department stating they had not received our FAFSA, but when I checked with FAFSA they said it was sent. We followed up to the school with an email back, but given how busy they are haven’t gotten back to us. Could this effect the timing on the decision for EA?

Will it affect your timing for ADMISSIONS Early Action…NO.

Call the school financial aid department and ask them if it’s there.

When did you submit your FAFSA?

Yes - call admissions and financial dept and ask if they have it. We had a similar issue with Villanova last year. I called and was told that they were so behind/overwhelmed with the amount of applicants last year that they automatically sent out some of those emails to people. Do not wait for an email back - I emailed and it took days. I called and although I had to call over a two day span (line at Villanova busy!!) I finally got through and was reassured. Good luck

FAFSA was submitted in October. EA application date was 11/1. I sent an email back to the financial aid department, but no response as I’m sure they are swamped. I’ll give them until tomorrow morning for a response and put a call in.
