How Long Does It Take The CSS Profile to Process?

Hello all,

I submitted my CSS profile at the very latest on 1/4/16 (although earlier for some other schools). I’m starting to get emails from nearly all of my schools that I did not fill out their financial aid forms and need to do so to get a financial aid packet with my admission decision (should I be accepted and all). For example, Carnegie Mellon says they did not get my CSS, when I sent it to them 1/4/16. On the collegeboard website they do say “If a financial aid office has told you that they have not received your PROFILE and this status indicates that it has been reported, you can be certain that your college has your information.” but seeing as it has been nearly 6 weeks I am concerned. I did not worry at first because I thought perhaps the school just hadn’t bothered to download my information yet but if they’re telling me now that they don’t have it and I need to send it, what should I do? Do I keep waiting? Resend it (and pay again? D:)?

Contact CB. It should only take a few days to process. Do NOT pay again.
