<p>I submitted both my CSS and FAFSA last week and I checked FAFSA right now and it said my application is processed as of Jan 21. I checked my financial status for my schools and it seems like all of them received my CSS but not my FAFSA.</p>
<p>So I'm just wondering if FAFSA takes longer to process or do schools not "download" the FAFSA until the deadline (I thought I read that somewhere but I don't know if I was just dreaming lol..)?</p>
