i can't find the FAFSA thread... I was wondering if I can enter more than 6 schools to receive my results. I haven't heard from some of them yet

Not sure what you mean by "receive [your] results," but as far as I know, you can only list six. You can change those six by editing, but you can't have more than six listed at once.

thanks! ...i was just using the confusing FAFSA lingo. umm, so how easy is it to change my FAFSA information? what happens if I change the schools listed, do they get my information right away?

It's really easy to change--just log in after it's been processed and hit the make corrections button (or something along those lines). Electronically, the fafsa is processed in a few days once submitted, so I would think any change in school info would take about that long as well.

sorry to hijack this thread, but two quick questions..

1) under parent's investments, how do I (or my parents) go about figuring out their investments? Their investments consist basically of real estate property (they own three units), how would we go about estimating the value of these properties for FAFSA purposes?

2) I have a lot of money in bank accounts under my name (my parents basically contributed money to my bank account every year since I was born). In total, I have over $100,000. Since this is under my name, would I be expected to use all, or most, of this money to pay for medical school? Would that therefore negate me from pretty much any aid (subsidized loans and grants)?

thanks!

$$100K in your bank account = very little financial help from FAFSA.

I'd suggest you transfer that money to your parents account (seriously) and apply as an independent with less than $10K to your name.

just my opinion though..
