June 2009 submission = January 1st 2010 FAFSA. You're a full year too early. Relax. Breathe.

When you are accepted, file your FAFSA after Jan 1, 2010.

An advisor at my school told me the sooner you submit it (after Jan. 1st of 2010 for you) the more financial aid you are likely to get... wouldn't hurt to try it, right?
