You should receive email from FAFSA confirming the completion and submission of your FAFSA.
Any school that you listed on the application will receive your FAFSA information. If both you and your parent signed your FAFSA electronically (with an FSA ID), then this should process within 3-5 days. If you are mailing a paper signature page, it can take 4-6 weeks for your college to receive this information.

Your FAFSA information will not process until you APPLY for admission at any colleges on your list and you have been ACCEPTED. Once you are accepted, you want to check your student portal for the college (they should give you directions to set this up). One of the pages on your student portal is financial aid - you can check to see if your college has processed your FAFSA and the status of any money that is awarded.
When in doubt, call the college's Office of Financial Aid for help!
