Which do i do first?

Question

file my fafsa or or apply to the colleges?? the fafsa deadline is June 30 and the college app. deadline is august 30th

Answer 1

You need to do them both now if you want your fin aid to be in before classes start.  Most schools priority deadlines for finanical aid for the fall have long passed.  Don't wait.  And be sure you are doing the correct FAFSA for the semester you are starting, i think you are looking at the wrong one.  The deadline for the fall isn't until June of 2009!  Of course you'd want to do it sooner if you want your money BEFORE classes started.

Answer 2

File both at the same time. Once you get accepted to a college they will work with you until you get your FASFA back.

Answer 3

Oh, perhaps you could do both at the same time? That way you won't have to worry about it once you've settled both.

Answer 4

Usually, you apply to the colleges first.

Doing both together is probably the best though.

Answer 5

you  can do both.  if you know what school you are attending, you can do the fafsa first, because the application will ask wihich school you will be attending.  after that, you can go and apply for admission to the college of choice
