I am on the waiting lists of four schools, not accepted to anywhere yet. Do I still need to fill out my FAFSA?

School I interviewed at said to still fill out FAFSA. Its date-stamp and you could still get grants/scholarships based on the date if you get accepted.

Yes, fill it out and send it to those 4 schools.

some of the schools I'm applying to show up under the school designation portion of the FAFSA, but a few of the dental-specific institutions (not tied to a larger university) aren't showing up. Any thoughts on this? I would assume that all dental schools participate in the FAFSA process.

You just need to call the school's Financial Aid officer. Maybe its just because I go to a state school, but many of my classmates filled out their FAFSA during orientation week and had no problems getting their aid disbursement before the fall tuition bill was due!
