Listing of colleges on the FAFSA

Paying for College

<p>I spoke with a very helpful FAFSA rep and we were discussing about the order in which one would place their colleges and she mentioned something about some colleges being very particular in placing them at the top position because of “scholarship” situations. I asked her to be more specific and she said that now that the process can be done online that they do not usually have requests made like that but that a college may call a student to ask them to make a correction on the FAFSA and move their school to the top.</p>

<p>Has anyone ever heard of this?</p>

<p>I have never heard of this. I have heard of many people placing schools in alphabetical order to show no preference, or in the order of financial deadlines for each school (school with earliest deadline is listed first).</p>
