Hi All,
I was glad to see that the FAFSA no longer provides each college the complete list of colleges. However, I’ve found nothing at all about the CSS Profile. It doesn’t ask me to rank the colleges (only 3 of them anyway), so I’m guessing it doesn’t provide the list to other colleges either. Can someone confirm this, please?
the CSS is simply a clearinghouse that collects information for colleges and sends that information to each school. Each college will have their own way of determining how they distribute their own institutional aid. Other schools do not know where you have submitted your profile
Thank you for the quick answer - it’s what I was hoping for. Now I can submit it without ranking the colleges, which is good because DS changes his mind weekly about his top choice (which is actually a good thing).
