Should I file FAFSA before applying / even if I don't know where I'm applying yet?

So I’m gonna be applying to 12 QB schools since I made it past the first round of elimination, and I’m going to do early action to SUNY Buffalo and OSU since that QB provision allows it (thanks @mommdc ) Long story short, unfortunately it’s too late for my school to submit my materials for the Howard app for early action so I’ll just do regular decision right away at Howard and hope I can get a scholarship still.

Thanks for the help everybody
