I would also lean toward no, esp since many schools don't give you FA stuff to fill out until you've already been accepted...

i should have made this clearer...in regard to waitlisted applicants

LOL, it's kinda of funny you bring it up because I was worried about the same thing - though now that I think about it, I'm not sure if this is what you mean. I went ahead and filled out my FAFSA this weekend for my two wailtlist schools in the hope that another sighting of my name sliding across the appropriate desk might push things in the right direction. Nothing more than a futile attempt on my part to exact control on this uncontrollable process.

Each day that passes, the attraction to press that new Certify button on my 2005 AMCAS gets stronger.

Right, I get that. All I was saying is that not all schools make financial aid info available to waitlisted applicants.

Also, the FA info doesn't go through the same people as does acceptance info, so once again, it seems like it wouldn't make any difference.
