Adding colleges -- FAFSA and CSS profile

Dear friends,

Had an urgent question. Am trying to do the first FAFSA and CSS Profile for a college that is due today. Can I add more colleges later in the next few weeks to

i) FAFSA
ii) CSS Profile

after submitting both of them today to the first college.

Is the procedure to add more colleges after submission simple or should I figure out and add all of them now itself? My daugther may apply to 12 colleges in all.

Thanks so much for your responses.

You can add more colleges later to both FAFSA and Profile. With FAFSA there is no charge; the College Board will extort you for $16 for each additional school. The process is fairly straightforward for both. The College Board would be crazy to make it hard for people to give them money.

Thanks so much. For college board the $16/college is there even if we were to add all the colleges before the first submission right? Just confirming.

Yes. Sending Profile to additional colleges costs $16 per school, regardless of when the request is made.

If your student applies to more than 10 colleges, she will need to submit the first batch, then wait for that batch to process. She will have to then amend the FAFSA to delete colleges so she can add the remaining two schools…and submit.

There is only room for 10 colleges on each FAFSA submission.

The college board will be happy to fleece you for any number of colleges.

How do I add colleges to FAFSA. I just now submitted FAFSA with one college. Now I want to add one more college to the form?
