Hey all,

I'm a little confused about the FAFSA application process and was wondering if anyone could clarify. So I'm on 2 wait lists with no acceptances. However, at an interview I attended, a med school's financial adviser told us that we should apply for FAFSA anyway with the school's code to get the process started even if we were placed on the wait list. My question is: should I be putting in the school codes of all the schools I'm currently wait listed at? Thanks!

Yes.

What about schools you haven't heard back from? I've been told at interviews to get going on the FAFSA in January, but that still leaves a couple months for potential interview invites...do we just put down all the schools we have not been officially rejected from?

It's fine to include any school where you could potentially matriculate.

The last form I saw had a ten school maximum. I hope that will be enough. 🙂
