i just had a question about fafsa and applying for loans... i'm currently waitlisted to 2 schools that are closer to home and that i really want to go to, and accepted to another school that i already put my deposit down for. in regards to fafsa and applying for loans etc do i need to put the waitlisted schools down too? if i got in i would go to them, but i don't know how the financial aid process works. also does fafsa for med school have a strict deadline like it does for undergrad?

thanks! 🙂
 
Add the waitlisted schools to the FAFSA form so your info. gets forwarded to them. For whatever schools you don't get in, or do not decide to attend, they will just discard your information after the Fall semester starts.
