<p>So it turns out that my dad's name was spelled incorrectly when I submitted the CCS PROFILE in November 2013. His name is "Richard" but it was accidentally spelt as "Richrd" on the form. I really don't know I and both of my parents missed this mistake....
Anyways, now I am trying to update the form to submit it to regular decision colleges and it won't let me change my dad's name. Should I explain the mistake in the box at the end? Or should I call them? Would one letter even matter? I also need to update financial info and fill out more supplementary questions.
My main concern is that all the financial aid deadlines are February 15th, so I don't know if it can be fixed in time. (Note: I don't care about fixing it for my early action colleges (the ones that already received it) because those were just safeties and I got admitted into my first choice, for which I am filling out the CSS now).
What should I do???</p>
<p>Call each school and ask how they would like updates to be provided. Some just want a print out of the Profile with pen and ink changes made. Others may take E-Mail updates.</p>
<p>Css is a paper edit. Unless there is some verification issue, similar to Fafsa, this is not a crisis. Agree with Erin’s Dad. And, for a few small mistakes, our college didn’t want to be bothered.</p>
