so im a bit confused on when to submit the fafsa....im not submitting my apps unitl june 09 for acceptance for fall 2010. do i need to fill out my fafsa now then just have it sent to schools as I get acceptances(Lord's willing) or should i just wait to fill it out next year?

sorry if this was asked before but i couldnt' find the answer anywhere else..thanks!!!

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?
