I applied ED II to NYU and submitted a Waiver request for the CSS profile. Ive never had contact with my dad, even when I was born, and he’s never been in my life or paid child support. My mother and I don’t know his email, phone number, or address, basically making it impossible for us to contact him to fill out the profile. Ive never talked to him in my life, and my mother hasn’t spoken with him for over 17 years. Is NYU likely to waive the profile or am I basically screwed on getting aid?
If you have had no contact and can’t find him, they should waive the NCP- that’s what the waiver is for. But they will probably want third party documentation- something from a clergy member or school counselor that knows the situation and can confirm that your dad has never been in your life.
