<p>i can see it now… the title of an email passing around the fafsa evaluators
fwd: LOOK AT THIS FOOL!! LOL </p>

<p>anyway, that was random…</p>

<p>ok ok, so should i even fill out fafsa? i know you need it for other scholarships and stuff, but will i even be considered? i mean, my father just got a huge raise from changing companies and before he made crap, essentially. (jumped 4 fold)</p>

<p>also, are ALL schools REALLY need blind? i think not filling out financial aid would help me but i dont think they look…</p>

<p>anyway, thanks eveyrone</p>

<p>There are other reasons for filling the form out. Like getting a low cost loan with interest on that loan deductible. I’d use OPM anyday and save mine to make more $.</p>

<p>whats OPM?</p>

<p>dont need loans</p>

<p>what other reasons?? </p>

<p>im a financial aid noob so please fill me in like a fafsa, (clear, detailed, and meticulous)</p>

Yes you should fill out and submit the FAFSA online.</p>

<p>Also, if your family income status changes (like your Dad looses his job, hey, it happens too often in todays world) and you did not file a FAFSA, you cannot amend for change of status until the following year.</p>

<p>You can file anytime. You may not get money from a State fund if you don’t meet the deadline but you can file anytime, even after a deadline.</p>

<p>It is true that you can file a FAFSA anytime…but if your primary income earner loses their job, the family will have enough to worry about. Completing the FAFSA is an unnecessary headache. Do it after your family completes their 2005 taxes…and have it done…just in case.</p>

<p>File online…fewer opportunity to make errors, it is free, it doesn’t have to be completed at one sitting, cues will help you along.</p>
