Send FAFSA to all schools, even if haven't heard of acceptance yet?

<p>I thought I had this figured out but :)...</p>

<p>D and I are filling out FAFSA now...do we add all the schools my D has applied to, even if she hasn't heard yet whether she got into those schools yet (the ones she will find out in Feb/Mar)?</p>

<p>Or do we wait until we hear from the other schools and then send it to them separately?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Absolutely include all schools you have applied to. They will not make a financial aid package for you to review if you haven’t included them. Assuming you want to be able to compare those packages, you need to send info to all of them through the FAFSA.</p>

<p>Remember too, that most schools require FAFSA/CSS submittal for MERIT aid offerings too, even if you will not be getting any need-based aid.</p>

<p>It is better to submit EARLY, especially if you are interested in need-based aid. So waiting for acceptances is not in your best interest.</p>

<p>Awesome…just wanted to check, thanks!</p>

<p>Actually…one more question if you/anyone doesnt mind :slight_smile: What do you do if you have more than 10 schools?</p>
