FAFSA- before or after acceptance?

Published

When do I submit my FAFSA application? I have been accepted to one graduate program already, but I am still waiting on 2 more.....

Is there anything else that needs to be done in order for the schools to send financial aid packages?

Are you waiting on the fall semester? They haven't sent out our award letters yet, they are still "processing- packaging edits" on the school website when I click on financial aid under my account. I didn't go to school for this past spring semester, but I am for the summer, which is considered part of the spring. I got my award letter with my loans (no grants for me either) for summer just a few weeks ago, it was dated 5/11 and was available online that day, didn't come in the mail for another week or so.

So hang in there, it will be coming! They sure make us sweat it out until the last minute though, don't they?
