I should be completing my senior year of my bachelors this year (2016-2017).
Like many other students, I am hoping to get into grad school. I thought I would have a few months to make the concrete decisions about grad school as the FAFSA is usually not required until January 1st.
This year they changed it and now it is due on October 1st. I will most likely fill out the application as a graduate student but what if there is some sort of mishap that happens this year (family emergency etc.) that keeps me from completing my bachelors? I have a scholarship through the school where I am getting my bachelors that could extend another 2 years if I needed to complete the degree but it is contingent on having up to date FAFSA info.
So, if I have an emergency or don't go to grad school do I just change my FAFSA at that time to say that I am still working towards my bachelors?
Has anyone else run into these issues?
