Medical Should I submit FAFSA before or after getting married?

[Question]

Members don't see this ad.

I am getting married soon and starting Medical School this summer (2025). I am debating on filling out FAFSA before or after getting married. We live in a notoriously very expensive place to live.

My question is this: would it be better to file for FAFSA prior to getting married, or after getting married?

Be aware that this year’s FAFSA will use your IRS data from 2023, so for this year’s FAFSA your upcoming marriage won’t have an impact

Agree with @wysdoc . This won't impact you
