Hello, I’m want to qualify for the Blue and Gold Opp Plan to do that I know if have to fill out FAFSA as well as submit a GPA Verification Form.

I submitted my FAFSA this morning and it went thru without a hitch and emailed me telling me how much they thought I would receive in Federal Aid. I’m not sure how it happened but it was sent again, it emailed me again but told me that it was processing and didn’t give me any estimates whatsoever. I called FAFSA and they told me that it would still be processing for another 3-5 days but that as long as it was submitted before March 2nd that it was okay. I went to [CSAC California Student Aid Commission](http://www.csac.ca.gov) to check my Cal Grant status and it told me that it had received my GPA Verification Form but that my FAFSA was not received…

Does anyone know if it has to be processed in order for the Cal Grant Website to count it as “Received”? I’m kind of worried here. I tried calling them, but of course after I was given the number it was already past 4:45 PM. Urgh… Does anyone know anything about this? If it will go thru? I am at your mercy…(well, until I call again tomorrow, but still) thank you!
