I completed the FAFSA in October, since my son was applying to schools that had early financial aid deadlines. None of the schools he applied to then required the CSS so we didn’t fill one out. Now he’s applying to Wash U, which requires either the CSS or their own Family Financial Profile (which is much shorter and free to fill out).
Our assets have changed in value since October - will it make a difference that the values are different on the FFP (or CSS) than they were on the FAFSA? Or do schools take this into account since they know forms are filled out at different times?
