<p>I'm kinda confused over the FA in the ED round. I did the CSS/Profile and taxreturns and what not.. but what about FASFA? Will my aid package get re-evaluated after FASFA? My parents told me that the CSS/Profile was just to estimate my aid package, and FASFA is the legit deal, but my parents are not the most informed lol. </p>
<p>What do I need to do now? A little confused..</p>
<p>I have the same question! Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Genius question! I would like to know, too!</p>

<p>Does anyone know how hard it is to get a Pell grant? Cause Penn estimated I would get one, even w/o the FAFSA… Isn’t this weird?</p>
<p>^ Are you a US citizen, or “Eligible Noncitizen”?</p>

<p>If not, it would be impossible.</p>
<p>I am a citizen, but I haven’t filled out the FAFSA yet, which I thought was the basis for all gov’t aid</p>
<p>FAFSA uses a federal formula for computing EFC-very easy to complete and much less comprehensive than the CSS.</p>
<p>Most highly selective privates use their own formula for institutional aid which requires the more comprehensive CSS.</p>
<p>FAFSA can be completed in 10minutes, while multiple hours and extensive documentation required for CSS.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
