I worked in financial aid for years. Lots of FAFSAs were sent to us from students who never applied. We didn’t touch those. After a certain date, aid was packaged for all accepted students - if a FAFSA was received from an accepted student after that, or if a student who had submitted a FAFSA was accepted after that, we packaged aid when the FAFSA was received or when the student was accepted. While I can’t say that no school would communicate an aid package prior to acceptance, I don’t know any that do … and I don’t know why they would, to be honest.
