I'm a rising senior. I want to do early action so I want all of my applications done by august, and all of them paid for or waivered by late august no later than early September. Should I get fasfa done first? I've requested reccomendation letters I'll review them and talk with my teachers; done my extracurriculars, and finished my SAT and will start on my essays very soon. But a lot of people say get your fafsa done first. I just wanna know where I should start so I can spend more time on my essays and getting into the schools I want to get into.
I'm pretty sure FAFSA opens on October 1 for seniors who are applying to college. Someone can double-check me if I'm wrong, but if I am not then I would definitely recommend working on applications and all that first.

Hey, yes the previous person is correct. FAFSA opens October 1st so it's best to get essays out of the way first.
