Well they were due in March for this coming academic year. If you have the papers handy (W-2s, drivers license, social security cards for you and your mom, etc) you could knock it out in well under 2 hours. It's not like it costs anything to fill out either.

Without a fafsa, I don't like your chances of getting any aid. You could probalby get loans, but I think that's it. You could still try to fill out out, but from March 2nd on, I think it's first come first serve.

No Fafsa = NO aid

Federal Loans you only get if you file Fafsa.

You could probably get a completely unsubsidized loan from the bank and raped on the interest

Fill out a fafsa NOW. If the school still has some leftover funding, you might get something.

Federal student loans require the Fafsa. Anything Federal and anything froma state school like a UC requires you to fill out a fafsa.

Bank loans dont require Fafsa- but as Mattn said- you will get raped on the interest.. not to mention you will need cosigners and etc etc etc
