we submitted the fafsa yesterday for our dtr under the “will file” status and we used estimated numbers. Will they use this info to prepare the fin. packages for her? or will they wait until the “filed” status be submitted? I’ve always heard that it’s best to do it early.

just wondering why they would have a “will file” function if they wont do anything until it’s officially filed.

thanks!!!
