<p>I didn't know that I needed to do the CSS profile for USC and I have missed the date by a lot (it was due Feb 1). The website says I can turn it in late for "reduced aid", but as close as possible to the date. Should I still fill it out and try? I need as much financial aid as I can.</p>
<p>If you need aid, fill it out. While you are at it, check ALL the other colleges for required financial aid submissions and the deadlines for them. Get everything sent ASAP.</p>
