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?
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.
What does it mean when a school has fewer than 5 applications completed? Is it possible that there will be no applicants at all?
No, it does not mean there were zero applications.
