<p>give them a call, i’m sure if they have your FAFSA they’ll let you fax them the additional supplements or something?</p>

<p>Generally speaking the lower your EFC the more help you get with finaid. This does depend on a few factors like COA at your school, how much need the actually meet, etc. A 0 EFC is not the shot in the foot you might might think it is. EFC is the Expected Family Contribution, who much your family can pay towards you college education. With a 0 you should be eligible for the highest Pell Grant and quite a few other means of finaid.</p>

<p>Breathe…</p>

<p>the schools will receive your FAFSA and CSS profile information electronically (no worries)</p>

<p>As far as the other supplemental stuff, do the paperwork and submit it now!!</p>

<p>you should be able to log and get the idoc forms which you will have to fill out and submit with your parents tax forms.</p>

<p>A lot of schools are flexible on their deadline for Financial Aid (more a guideline than a deadline). Get it in ASAP. That is the best you can do.</p>

<p>For many schools, as long as you get it in before they start evaluations, you are ok. You are not that late.</p>

<p>Relax… As mentioned already, the schools have your FAFSA, finish CSS now. Just submit your supplementals ASAP.</p>

<p>i am sorry for asking.

<p>It’s a bunch of tax papers like w2s and tax returns and you can only do this after you submit your CSS profile, it’s due to collegeboard by March 1 (in the mail), so you have time for that, it’s really easy to get done don’t worry.</p>
