Do you HAVE to fill out the CSS PROFILE

<p>i'm applying to stanford, duke, rice, and emory. they all ask for the profile before feb 1, but the fafsa can be turned in my that time. do i have to do the css profile AND the fafsa to get financial aid?...or can i just send in the fafsa on jan 1?</p>

<p>Yes, you have to fill in both in order to get financial aid from those schools.</p>

<p>so you need css for stanford?</p>

<p>I didn't simply because I knew I wouldn't qualify. Otherwise, I think you do.</p>

<p>YEs it is required!</p>
