I got a letter in the mail today (July 23rd), which was dated July 18th. It says that I need to correct something on my FAFSA, and it needs to be "corrected and returned by May 15th, 2008 to be considered on time."

Obviously that deadline has passed. Did I get fucked out of my financial aid because my school is full of retards who have no concept of time?

Call them and ask?

What year is it for? The upcoming one? If so,
I doubt it's a problem. I've been late on my FAFSA every year the last 4 years. I still haven't renewed mine for next year, I should probably get on that.

Yes, it's for the school year that starts in less than a month.

Dont worry, I remember last year I was all worried becuz they said that may was the deadline, but my sister told me not to worry...I ended up filling out my FASFA in the summer and got got my money before school.... I think thats just the deadline to get it forsure...and anybody who signs up after that gets money on a first come first serve basis until the gov runs out of free money to give out...which is never....well at least thats what my sister told me, i dont know if it was just bullshit to shut me up from buggin her but yea just fill it out ASAP
