Make sure you not only check each school’s website, but DOUBLEcheck it! I thought I had everything mapped out, but I just found out that I was supposed to send tax forms to one of the schools & somehow missed that. I found out by emailing the financial aid director. I had received an automated call about the f/a preferred date being the 15th. Because I had submitted FAFSA a couple weeks earlier, I called the number they left to check. I was told all forms were in. Two days ago, I received a letter encouraging me to get my info in. I ended up emailing the director & asking if I was missing anything. He emailed back & told me I needed to send tax forms. If I hadn’t contacted him, I would never have known (actually, they would have eventually contacted me, but this way I’ve submitted things in a timely manner). The moral is, double-check … and if they send you something, don’t ignore it … ask about it.
