Am I the only person....

who gets sincerely frustrated when filling out a fafsa form online?

fafsa applications suck!

Incredibly frustrating, yes.
I fucked up on this last one and they thought I was married. Really threw a damned wrench into me getting my money in a timely manner.

I second that.

Is it true that if you are over 24, regardless of if you live with the 'rents or not, they will only go off of your income? that's what everyone has been telling me.

I think, 25 and older you don't have to claim your parents income, but I believe you are still able to put that information into the system (if you like).

The FAFSA online form is relatively easy and painless for me. I usually have my tax returns in hand.

no, cant stand that shit,its always a waste of time,never get any money.wtf

what is that?

nooooo i hate filling out FAFSA online...i do the work by hand and mail the forms

I was 23 when I filled out my FAFSA and I didn't have to provide my parents' info.

i just5 checked the fafsa online guide, and, if youre born before jan 1 1982, youre considered independent!!! that means 24 and older! that means me! wow, maybe i can actually get some aid now!

stupid fafsa... they calculated my efc at $8,200 - thats about 1/3 of my annual income... how do they expect someone living in ny to be able to contribute that much to tuition?

Never had a problem with them. Pretty simple to correct if a mistake is made. Now if only my schools financial aid department could get their shit together. They have consistently fucked up something every single semester.
