<p>I'm terribly confused and much too tired of firms (as I'm sure many of us are). But Princeton apparently has its own financial aid form? What is this!? I thought FAFSA and CSS were generalized forms, with the FAFSA suitable for all schools and the CSS for all schools on its list...</p>
<p>...don't tell me I have to fill out forms for each school? (no, seriously, don't tell me that. I've already applied to MIT and UMich and have done no such Financial Aid form)</p>
<p>Some colleges have their own forms; some just use FAFSA or FAFSA and CSS Profile. You have to check each college's website or application form to see what it wants.</p>
<p>Most schools will require you to fill out their own forms. At some schools, it may only be one page long. At others, the forms can be 1/2 inch thick (like Emerson). I would assume that Princeton's institutional forms will be extensive.</p>
