FAFSA/CSS Profile Question

Paying for College
1

<p>I'm quite confused on all this. I am applying to Columbia, Princeton, UPenn, Case Western Reserve, Brown, and Cornell. I think all of them want a FAFSA and/or CSS Profile by March or February. I can still file FAFSA and CSS profiles for 2005-2006 after January 1, or am I screwed?</p>

<p>I am pretty clueless and nervous about this financial aid situation...Just so I have each college's FinAid forms in at their deadline, should I be good?</p>

<p>I think that Thumper and I covered the FAFSA question in depth on MIT's post, so please refer to that thread. </p>

<p>Regarding the CSS profile, you should also file that as soon as possible because that goes through the college board, which then goes to your prosepective schools (better to be early than late). Unlike the FAFSA, you must pay to file the CSS profile.</p>
