zSDMF - do you know how this FAFSA shit works?  I filled it out, got some email back with some jargon I didn't understand, and have no idea wtf i'm supposed to do

My acceptance to the masters program is "pending" but the graduate director is a mentor of mine so I'm a shoo-in.  Once I'm accepted do I just go talk to the financial aid people at my school?  Or do I contact fafsa and be like "where my money at?!"

I'm totally lost, heh

i'm 20 and you are obviously much further in the higher education process than I am (it took me 3 years to figure out I wanted to go to college).  i've been advised by a few people, school officials included, that it's just best I go in and talk to the criminal adviser first (beacause I have cases) and then go to the computer lab with my parents tax returns and mine and have the lab tech walk me through the processes.

i really have no idea how FAFSA works, all I know is it will pay for me to go to school in the fall.

but if i were you i'd go right to your financial aid department and show them the email and have them decypher it for you and let them take the wheel.  that's what they're paid to do, get you money to go to their school.
