Checklist for Correct FAFSA Processing
FAFSA on the Web - Preferred Method
Read the information on the Office of University Scholarships and Financial Aid (USFA) web site and understand that if the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is completed after March 11 you will receive a lower priority consideration for many grants, need based low interest rate loans, and work study.
Go to FAFSA on the Web, read the FAFSA instructions and complete ALL items on the application using a "0" for items that were not applicable.
Make certain that your Social Security Number as entered is CORRECT. If it is incorrectly entered, your Student Aid Report (SAR) will have a reject code and your application for aid will be rejected. You will need to re-file a new FAFSA.
List Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University's school code 003754 in Step 6, Item #97a.
Enter the appropriate housing code in Step 6, FAFSA Item #97b.
Complete asset items 43-45 in Step 2, and 87-89 in Step 4.
Use your PIN (and your parents should use their PIN if you are dependent) to electronically sign the FAFSA application. You may also print, complete and mail the Signature Page to the Federal Processor within 10 days of submitting your FAFSA. Be aware that mailing in a signature page will slow down the processing of your application.
Include your email and physical mailing address.
After you complete the FAFSA online, print the Confirmation page to verify that the Federal Processor received the FAFSA.
Understand that if you use estimated tax information for either you or your parents on the FAFSA, you will need to make on-line corrections if information changes after your parents or you complete your tax returns. There may be delays, and further information may be requested by our office. While actual tax return information is preferred, due to deadline dates, estimated tax information is acceptable. Do not submit actual tax returns to Virginia Tech unless requested to do so.

Like bear90 said, there should also be a timeline posted on the vetmed website for new acceptees...the address should eventually be emailed to you - info about rabies vaccination, orientation, all of that goodness.
