<p>only some schools require the css profile right?</p>
<p>right…</p>
<p>go to collegeboard.com and find and click on the css link (far left–last one in the student section) you’ll see all of the schools that require it.</p>
<p>Go to your COLLEGE’S websites…you will also see whether the Profile is required there…and more important…the deadline for submission. You will also see what other things are required for a complete financial aid application (FAFSA, tax returns, school forms, for example) and the deadlines for any required items.</p>
<p>These requirements and deadline vary wildly from college to college…so check EACH one.</p>
