aaaaaaaaah! i forgot to send in my CSS form!

<p>i read that u need to submit both the FAFSA AND the CSS form?</p>

<p>can i still send the css to be considered for financial aid?
(even tho the deadline was march 1)</p>

<p>...and is that all i need to send in?</p>

<p>oh yeah, i already sent the FAFSA if that helps ne.</p>

<p>I have made the same mistake, please tell me what u r planning to do?
I have sent the fafsa but not the CSS Profile. Might as well wait for the letter</p>

<p>its no problem if you will get in :) I think</p>

<p>Hey, try to fax it!</p>

<p>faxed finaid documents are not officially accepted!</p>

<p>Are you seriously?????</p>

<p>I've sent my letters in February, but usually they go about 2 months to USA, so I decided to fax 'em.
Usually faxed documents are considered to be official. What a hell with univs?</p>

<p>I don't think they would wait for my letters until May.</p>

<p>Maybe try anyway?</p>

<p>College Reps, please help!!!!!</p>

<p>What do you send it by? Regular mail? You should use courier or at least airmail (even though in my case, airmail has taken anywhere from 6 days to 1 month).</p>

<p>But if you think your finaid app will reach em around May - do ALL you can to contact the finaid office and let them know. Better yet, send another app by courier!</p>

<p>As far as I know, most universities do not accept faxed financial documents!</p>

<p>So, to answer...</p>

<p>We prefer not to receive faxed forms, although for international students we will begin processing, but we do need to have the originals mailed to us.</p>

<p>Since the CSS Profile is an online form there is nothing to fax to us. That (and the FAFSA) have to be processed by a central service who sends the information to us. So, if you missed submitting the form, do it NOW!</p>

<p>I do understand the temptation to wait until the letter is received, but DON'T WAIT. We would rather have the form from someone who we don't admit than not have the information.</p>

<p>If the $18 is a problem (for Profile), then wait, but otherwise get it done...</p>

<p>Thanks Mr. Barkowitz,</p>

<p>So you advise to fax now these forms, and if I am admitted, you will get originals later, and that would be OK?</p>

<p>And can I send CSS International online?</p>

<p>Again, if you are an international student, go ahead and fax the form. That would be the International Student Financial Aid Application. If you are a US Citizen or Permanent Resident, we need the CSS Profile and that cannot be faxed.</p>

<p>Email pdf is also fine for the ISFAA, to our email address.</p>

<p>ok, i just sent my CCS form today (March 10th). what're my chances of receiving any aid from the CSS now that i'm 9 days late from the deadline?</p>

<p>also... what's the average amount granted for the CSS (on-time and late)?</p>

<p>We do not (yet) penalize late applicants. As for averages, check the SFS web page, but again remember we base all of our decisions on your personal need.</p>
