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.
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.
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.
