January
Try to complete your FAFSA by February, and know your application deadlines for your chosen scholarships. If the questions about your income and your parents' income and assets seem annoying to you, think again. Presuming you qualify for at least some financial aid, think about completing the FAFSA as a paid job. If you get $2000 in grant money by completing the FAFSA (and lots of students will qualify for even more), and if it takes you and your parents four hours to complete it (it probably won't even take that long), it's the same as having a job that pays you $500 an hour. If you worked 40-hour workweeks that paid you that same rate, you'd earn $1,000,000 a year.
So quit your whining. Complete the FAFSA.
Don't forget to send your transcript to all of the colleges to which you've submitted an application. Also don't forget to send updated transcripts to your scholarships.
