My DH filled out a FAFSA without my knowledge and linked the ED school. I tried to fix it but it was sent. Now they want a CSS and we have no intention of filling it out. Do you think that the FAFSA will hold up admissions decisions?
The FAFSA is in the financial aid office. Your child’s application is in the admissions office.
If you don’t intend to apply for financial aid, then have your kiddo contact the financial aid office and tell them that you won’t be applying for any institutional need based aid. You can say this FAFSA was done just in case you want to access the federally funded Direct Loan.
But really…if you don’t complete a Profile, and that’s required, the school just won’t give your kid any need based aid.
@kelsmom what do you think?

You can just contact the financial aid office to explain that you aren’t interested in institutional aid.
As said you won’t get aid bcuz you are not doing the CSS but you should be able to correct and resend the FAFSA as well if you (or someone else reading that faces this situation wanted to correct. When I needed help u called the FAFSA 800# a few times and found them very helpful.
Interesting that a child can answer the questions asked :). I should have let mine do so. Maybe my EFC would have been a lot lower
