Hi everyone! I've already listed 10 schools on my FAFSA, but I want to send it to some more colleges. How can I add more schools after hitting the limit? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! You're correct that the FAFSA initially allows you to list up to 10 schools. However, you can definitely add more schools; you'll just need to follow a few additional steps.
Once your FAFSA has been processed (usually within three to five days), you'll be able to make changes to the list of schools on your application. First, go to 'Make FAFSA Corrections' on fafsa.gov, and log in with your FSA ID. Then, remove some of the schools you had previously listed (you'll still want to record their codes so you can add them back later). Next, add the codes for the additional colleges you want to send your FAFSA to, and submit your corrected FAFSA.
Once the new schools receive your information (which can take a few days), you can repeat the process to cycle through all the colleges you want your FAFSA sent to. Just remember to wait for each batch of schools to receive your information before making another change to the list. Hope this helps!
