CSS PROFILE

If I do not qualify for financial aid (parents are both physicians), do I need to fill out a CSS PROFILE? Majority of the schools I am applying to state that it is required, but what for? Is it required for financial aid, or required for acceptance? If someone can help me understand it, that would be great! thank you

Not required for acceptance. Many affluent students never apply for aid.

However, if your schools require submission for merit consideration, then do so. I doubt many schools require CSS submission for merit.

<<< Majority of the schools I am applying to state that it is required,>>>

Which schools say it’s req’d???

It’s never req’d for acceptance.

It may be req’d for aid, but never for acceptance. Do you think BIll Gates filled out CSS Profile for his kids? uh no.
