<p>I'm applying EA for MIT...do I have to submit a CSS profile now, or in the spring?
thanks</p>
<p>If the EA decision is due November 1st than the CSS profile probably is too! Call school!</p>
<p>when i go online to the mit financial aid website it still only has information from last year? anybody know when its supposed to be sent?</p>
<p>Well, in a</a> blog entry on Matt's admssions blog, he answered a question about the CSS Profile this way:

Sam wrote, "Is it necessary for me to send in a CSS Profile before the admissions decision is made? Oh yeah, just what exactly is a priority deadline mean in terms of the CSS profile? Is it the last date or is it the prefered date?"</p>
<p>You should send in the CSS Profile as soon as possible, before March 1.

<p>And as you found on the Financial Aid site, they mention Feb. 15th as the date for receipt of FinAid materials (although that page was posted for last year's applicants). I think it's safe to assume the CSS Profile isn't due until the spring.</p>
<p>Generally financial aid stuff isn't due until after the first of the year, because the financial aid people will want to see your parents' 2008 tax returns.</p>
<p>oh ok, I was also confused because everything was from last year..I may call just to triple-check</p>
