College Board: CSS/Financial Aid Profile

<p>I just wrote an email to College Board... I sent an email of complaint because of the ridiculous cost of sending our CSS Profile. The cost is $25 for the first one, and $18 for each subsequent request. </p>

<p>Also, I emailed them because of my current situation. So far this year, I have made about 10k. However, I am currently unemployed and at the brink of financial bankruptcy. To add salt to the injury, College Board did not grant me a CSS Profile waiver. Do I have to reach a point of starvation and homelessness to qualify for such waiver? Trust me, I am so close on reaching that point....</p>

<p>On my email to College Board, I made it clear that I am a disgruntled American who refuses to pay such excessive fees. I am down to my last 50 dollars and I refuse to pay a cent! I cant really wait for their response. I will share it with you once I get it.</p>

<p>Urghh, so much for being a "non-profit organization." While we are struggling to pay the ridiculous fees associated with the SAT and CSS, their president is enjoying a fat check of 900k/year while 12 of their executives are enjoying 300k/year. Even the president of United States makes less than their president!

<p>Now, let us examine their mission. On their website, it states that their mission is "to connect students to college success and opportunity." If that is truly the case, then, they would waive the ridiculous fees they are charging me. </p>

<p>I am just fed up with the entire process. I truly believe that low income students like me should have an opportunity to pursue a college education without College Board causing us significant financial hardship.</p>
