All other files use the current assumption that applicants be no older than 19.[NEWLINE]user: That's interesting. I've read that schools used to run surveys to figure out the rate of FAFSA completion, but they don't do that anymore. How is it done nowadays?[NEWLINE]agent: In this time and age Federal Student Aid is providing high schools with current data about their FAFSA submissions and completions so that high schools can track their progress and help to ensure that their students complete a FAFSA.[NEWLINE]user: Ah, that makes sense.

Financial aid becomes ever more important.[NEWLINE]user: And do the schools have an idea how many applications are sent to them?

Most of the students would likely not satisfy the age criteria requiring applicants to be less than 20 years of age so they might not be counted.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: Anything else I want to ask about the FAFSA Completion process, what follows after my application?[NEWLINE]agent: The fsa regularly updates estimates for the first 15 months of the application cycle.[NEWLINE]user: Is there any age limit?

user: I am looking at completion totals for FAFSA submissions, why would my number be low?[NEWLINE]agent: Is the number that is displayed lower than you thought it should be?[NEWLINE]user: Yes, it is quite lower than I expected it to be[NEWLINE]agent: Have you checked to see if your high school has overestimated their FAFSA completion rates?[NEWLINE]user: Yes, I have checked and it seems as if they have indeed made an overestimation[NEWLINE]agent: One of the reasons that your submission rate seems low is that your school could be listed more than once, this can happen when a student enters your school name in a different way on the FAFSA form. If your high school name is listed under different names, then it could be listed in more than one place[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: Can I get help increasing my FAFSA completion number at my high school?[NEWLINE]agent: Federal Student Aid recently launched the Financial Aid Toolkit to help student counsellors understand the basics of federal student aid, provide tips on hosting events along with sample PowerPoint presentations, provide suggested messages for social media and email outreach, and help find other training opportunities for students.[NEWLINE]user: And how can high schools track their progress?[NEWLINE]agent: Usually, FSA regularly updates estimates for the first 15 months of the application cycle.[NEWLINE]user: Is this information for all schools?
