Didn't see that coming.

People without an SSN can't file a FAFSA online this year, so I sent mine through the mail with entirely accurate information and whatnot, but instead of an SSN, I just put "--- -- ----".

It got sent back, saying that they can not file the form because I "failed to enter a Social Security Number."

I read somewhere that one in our situation ought to put "000-00-0000" in the form to make it work.

Any ideas?

Pretty desperate... Penn State and Rutgers already accepted me, dono what to do now.
