So the final date for the fafsa is march 15th (or something), and I beleive that the date for the css profile varies from college to college (?)
When did you guys do your fafsa and css? What date would you recommend?
Im a senior who just gave in his apps. Will be attending (hopefully) this fall.
HAvent started anything, actually.
It doesn’t matter one bit when anyone else did THEIR financial aid application forms. You need to do yours adhering to the deadlines your schools have.
The smartest thing is to see what the earliest deadline is for your schools…and submit all of your forms to all of your schools by that date.
Personally, I would get those 2014 taxes done ASAP, and submit the financial aid application materials ASAP. Just get it done.
If taxes aren’t done by any deadlines you submit them with estimates for 2014 income and actual asset information. The fafsa can be updated later online when taxes are done. The schools will tell you how they want updated information for CSS to be provided to them.
ok thanks guys, much appreciated
will get started tomorrow, dad already fell asleep
but if anyone has time to kill, feel free to drop your dates on me (along with the colleges maybe)
i myself have applied to a bunch of everything-- a couple of sunys, cunys, lacs, ivys, pretty much everywhere
Have you looked at each school’s deadline on their finaid web pages? You need to do that.
Some of those colleges are sure to have deadlines much sooner, there were deadlines just on 2/1 people here were rushing to make.
Some aid is first come, first served, especially at state colleges. Not Pell or federal loan, but perkins loan, SEOG, workstudy and school grants.
You need to go to the web sites of colleges you applied to and get the deadlines for each one. In my D’s case, some were due two days ago on the 1st, a few not until the 15th.
wow 
just when i thought I couldn’t mess up even more…
oh well, i guess…
