Hey everyone, I know the general rule of thumb is to fill out FAFSA ASAP so you get the most out of it for undergrad but is it the same for med school? How do you fill it out if you don’t know where you’re going just yet?
 
You can add schools to it as you get acceptances, but you’ll be getting whatever financial aid package the school puts together, so when you do the FAFSA doesn’t matter as long as it’s done by the deadline.
