<p>I thought I had everything ready to go for my son to apply Early Action, but today, I happened to be looking at the Financial Aid section on the website and discovered:</p>
<p>"If you have applied for an Early Action admission decision and are interested in financial aid, you should file the CSS PROFILE, available online at profileonline.collegeboard.com by December 1st. You will receive a tentative financial aid award at the same time as your admissions decision at the end of December. To finalize your financial aid award prior to the May 1st deposit, you will also need to file the FAFSA at Home</a> - FAFSA on the Web-Federal Student Aid, available after January 1st."</p>
<p>The CSS PROFILE is available after October 1st. This caught me by surprise so I thought I would share.</p>
