<p>This is oddly specific but still general and hopefully helpful to others.</p>
<p>I filled out my FAFSA.</p>
<p>I added school A and school B.</p>
<p>Couple months passed.</p>
<p>I added school C.</p>
<p>As far as priority goes for aid, am I at the same place ‘in line’ for schools A, B and C or is priority established when that school receives your records (which presumably is when they’re included on your application?)</p>
<p>Thanks for any insight!</p>
<p>Where you are in line for a particular school’s aid is when that school receives your FAFSA. Processing FA awards is an ongoing process and some awards may run out. If you add a school later then they do not receive your FAFSA till later. If they have certain types of campus based aid that runs out, for instance the SEOG grant or WS, then if they have run out by the time you add them to your FAFSA you will not get it. It does not matter that you initially file in, say January, listing schools A and B. If you add school C in March and and they have already awarded all the SEOG and WS money they have then they cannot award it to you.</p>
