<p>I may sound really stupid asking this but..</p>
<p>Does submitting the CSS profile mean that you are applying for financial aid?</p>
<p>I ask this because I was not planning on applying for financial aid because I heard that as an international student, the chances for admission would become significantly lower if I do. :(
But looking at the application requirements for some of my schools (ex. Cornell), the CSS profile seems to be required.</p>
<p>So should I be submitting the CSS profile?</p>
<p>I would really appreciate if somebody could help me out on this. Also, any extra information about the CSS and what the colleges use it for would be a huge help.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
