About the CSS Profile

<p>I have to revise the CSS Profile, so I will have to print out a copy of the information and make hand-changes. After that, I will send the papers to the schools I'm applying to. Is this the correct way to do it?</p>

<p>Also, do I have to send the original (unchanged) CSS profile to the schools (paying the fee of $18 per school through Collegeboard) even if I am sending it to them the new CSS profile by mail (the hand-changed one)? Thanks.</p>

<p>(1)Yes, if you've already filed the Profile with a school, you will need to send a hand-corrected copy to those schools.</p>

<p>(2) No, you cannot send the hand-corrected copy to schools you haven't yet sent the Profile to. You must pay the $18.00 fee to each school that requests the Profile. However, you can make online corrections to the original Profile before you send it to those who haven't yet received it.</p>

<p>How can I change the information online and send it to schools that haven't reveived it yet, if I had sent it to one school earlier (for early admissions)? Do I have to send the initial completed application (with the initial information) through Collegeboard for $18 and then send the updated information by mail (hand-edited)?</p>

<p>I hate to ask this, but have you even gone back to the CollegeBoard website to look at the instructions? It is actually a very easy website to navigate. Please don't get me wrong, but I think this is something you might have been able to figure out yourself but just logging on...and there's also a very good Q&A section.</p>

<p>Again, for the school you've already sent the Profile too, you'll have to make a copy, put the handwritten changes on it, and mail it to the school.</p>

<p>For the schools you haven't sent the Profile to yet, here are the instructions to add colleges and change the financial info:</p>

<p>Log into the website again, go to "Add Colleges to Submitted Application." It gives you instructions that look like this:</p>

<hr>

<p>Welcome back to your PROFILE Application.</p>

<p>To add one or more colleges or scholarship programs to your PROFILE Application, click "Continue." </p>

<p>If you have more current financial information, such as final figures from completed tax returns, you can update your Application information for the added colleges or programs now. Only the institutions that you add to your PROFILE Application will receive your updated PROFILE answers. </p>

<p>To update your PROFILE Application for the additional colleges or programs:
Print a copy of your Application data by clicking "Application Review."
Return to this page and click "Continue." </p>

<p>I didn't actually do it myself, because I didn't need to. This should give you a good start. At the end, it should ask you to pay the $18.00 per school. </p>

<p>I hope that's enough. Good luck.</p>
