So I haven't heard back from all of the schools I applied to, even though I am 98% sure of which school I will be attending. I was just wondering...do I send out my FAFSA now to all of the schools I am holding deposits at? Or do i wait until after I heard back from everyone and decide on which school I am going to? Thanks! 🙂

Send that bad boy in! Once schools recieve your Student Aid Report (SAR) after you submit the FAFSA, then financial aid packages will be dispersed by schools. Aid goes out the door first come, first serve in some cases. Its perfectly fine, IMO, to have 5 schools listed to recieve your FAFSA. Then you can compare financial aid packages from the schools you are already accepted to. Many, many people make admission decisions using financial aid packages. If you need to add on another school later, simply do a FAFSA correction.
