i am trying to fill out the fap application to get a discount on the mcat and its not accepting my application; it keeps saying that i entered insufficient amounts.
i didnt fill out a tax return and i dont have a job so i put 0 for my income and 0 for non-taxable income and also 0 for my parents non-taxable income and then i put my parents gross income and when i tried to submit it, it said that the amounts were incorrect. i read the help thing but that didn't help..
anybody know how to fix this problem?

Did you get a financial aid?

Non-taxable income includes the assitance you received by the institution for room and boarding.

Non-Taxable Income Received:12,100

was for me because my institution paid for all my room and board.

You gotta read carefully, at first I thought I should put 0 for that question too but in the box next to it it specifically said what you have to write down.

Hope it helped!

PS: btw, I got the FAP approval.

Yea, I had the same problem while filling it out. I just put my financial aid I received because it kept telling me insufficient funds.
You should call them if it doesn't accept it. I also got the FAP this year.

that happened to me too.

so i entered the lowest number possible (i tried few thousand or hundred dollars at the time and try to narrow it down to the lowest number possible to be entered)

then i just attached the letter saying that number is not what i intended to enter and only entered b/c system wouldn't let me submt "0" as the amount. and i explained why it's 0 how i didn't get any $$ from anywhere.

and i got my fap approved.

hope this helps !

does anyone know if i could get fap approved for 2 years?? i applied for fap this year for mcat but i want to get it approved again for next year for applications. or does it roll over? at least for school application

I think you can get FAP for 2 years. So I would say you can get it for next year because I think 2 years is the max they allow it (unless I'm wrong). I just applied for the FAP too but I didn't get a response yet.

I thought it was 5 years?

Google image search for "FAP" yields something far different than tuition assistance.
