<p>I live in Arkansas, and none of our in-state schools require the CSS Profile, so at any college meeting or anything that I went to, nobody mentioned it. All that I knew about was FAFSA, and I know that isn't even available until January, so I figured I shouldn't be concerned about any financial aid opportunities except for merit-based. However, I am now finding out that 7 of my 8 colleges require it and I missed the Early Deadline (but not Priority). What does this mean? I'm filling it out with my mom right now and it's taking hours.</p>
<p>You are probably fine. Unless you applied Early Decision most deadlines for the CSS Profile are in January and February. Double check each colleges website for the financial aid deadlines for regular decision. Good that you know now!</p>
<p>I submitted them all last night, so I can stop stressing. The thing that was causing me the most stress was that it was $16 per school to submit, but luckily I qualified for a fee waiver.</p>
