I just submitted my Common App two days ago. I submitted my CSS profile yesterday to get it over with. (Which is apparently a wrong move since “NYU will email you the number within seven days of submitting your Common Application.”) I only received my NYU #ID a few hours ago.
In the CSS profile they asked me this:
To help us match your CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE to your application, provide your Common Application ID (CAID) number. The Common App ID is located on the top of each page within the online application. If you are a current international or undocumented returning NYU student, please provide your NYU University ID Number (N#).
I only entered my Common App ID since I didnt know what my NYU ID# was at that point.
Will my CSS profile still be linked to my account? Or will I not be eligible for a scholarship now?
I’m contacting them to help, but as of now I am anxious that I won’t get financial aid because of my mistake.
