Have you tried checking your application status online? Sometimes there are error codes or messages that can give you a clue about what's going wrong.
I did check online, but everything looks normal on my end. That's what's so confusing about this whole thing!
Not to freak you out, but make sure this isn't some kind of scam or identity theft situation. Double check that you're using the official FAFSA website (should end in .gov) and maybe run a credit check just to be safe.
Oh geez, I hadn't even thought of that 😰 I'm pretty sure I used the right site, but I'll definitely double check. Thanks for the heads up!
Pro tip: Tweet at their official account. Sometimes they respond faster there than through official channels.

One final note: if you do end up needing private loans, having a cosigner with excellent credit can significantly reduce the interest rate - sometimes by 2-3 percentage points. Also, look for lenders that offer cosigner release after a certain number of on-time payments (usually 24-48 months). This allows your daughter to take over the loan independently once she has established her own credit history, which removes your liability.

•This is so helpful! My credit score is around 780, so hopefully that would help if we go the private route. I like the idea of the cosigner release too - that would be a good stepping stone for her to build credit. Thank you for all the advice!
