<p>According the the Caltech website, regular decision applicants must register for the CSS Profile by December 15th. I haven't registered yet and I am applying to Caltech regular decision. I checked on the websites of the other colleges I am applying to, such as MIT, Stanford, etc, and none of them have a date by which I must register for the CSS Profile; they only have dates by which I must submit it. Does this really mean I cannot apply for financial aid to Caltech? Or if I register now and still submit it by the Caltech deadline for submission will it still be okay?</p>
<p>I'm guessing that that if you just do it now you'll be fine, but if you want to be sure you should ask one of the admissions officers. They are friendly, they don't bite, I promise!</p>

<p>Thank you for you reply.
I emailed them and hopefully I will still be able to apply for financial aid.</p>
