When does FinAid communicate with Admissions?

<p>I'm wondering at what point in the process do the FAO people and the Admissions people get together to put together a "package"? If you've been asked by FAO to submit more paperwork, does that mean Admissions wants them to figure out a way to get you there?</p>

<p>Normally schools begin reviewing FAFSAs and CSSby collegeboard around the feb 15 deadline. but they are adamant about first come first serve...so perhaps as soon as information is sent to them?</p>

<p>i know that for me I had to fill out the CSS (fin aid form) to some schools, and those schoosl requested more paperwork only to verify the data that i typed in, not to get me to go. maybe it is different for you, since im not familiar with FAO.</p>
