So if the FAFSA sends an email saying that it has been processed...

<p>That means that the collleges have downloaded my application, right? I received an email saying that it was processed, but one of the schools that lists the status of the FAFSA says that it has not been received. Does that mean I just need to wait for them to process it into their system? Do colleges inform you if you have missing financial documents like they do for regular applications if you marked that you would be applying for financial aid on their application?</p>

<p>No, It means that your application has been processed. It does not mean that each school has downloaded your information as some schools will do it sooner than others.</p>

<p>Yes, the college will inform you if you are missing financial aid information.</p>
