<p>Anyway, my brother deleted my CSS application while I walked out of the room (he's angry at me) as a very cruel prank.</p>
<p>Now that I'm back on my computer, I CAN'T MAKE ANY CHANGES TO MY NOW NON-EXISTENT APPLICATION, OR REGISTER FOR A NEW ONE!!!</p>
<p>Or can I?</p>
<p>I'm EXTREMELY worried. What do I do? Do I call them? Get a new ID? Is that possible?</p>
<p>Please, someone help!</p>
<p>I advocate copious use of explicits, preferably to the male sibling of yours who deliberately deleted your CSS application unbeknownst to you.</p>
<p>BELIEVE ME, when I found out I just couldn't start over (or can I? I HATE COLLEGE BOARD SO MUCH) my brother faced my wrath like never before.</p>
<p>Only, he told on my dad, who seemed to think the fact that I'm being mean to my brother outweighs the fact that we may now get no financial aid.</p>
<p>Ugh... has this happened to anyone else?</p>
<p>I have no clue what to do.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I don't have to do the CSS being an intel so I can't help you, but I hope to add some comfort by saying your brother is one of the most irresponsible malicious twerps alive and your father, too, is quite demented. Maybe the male gene got twisted in your family?</p>
<p>(I hope you're not a male, by the way...or if you are, then you were spared!) </p>
<p>I recommend writing an email to CB, asking what to do and hope and pray they work on the weekends. (They better, those sodding money-suckers.) </p>
<p>I don't know when the deadline is for finaid, but possibly think about writing an email to the colleges explaining your situation if the deadline's close.</p>
<p>Im serious
Thats total bs.... screwing up colege apps is NOT funny or mean.. its plain evil from a retard</p>
<p>So, Mail all ur cols and give them the EXACT story
Tell them what happened.. and also call up CB... dont email then (its pointless) and if u do sucker punch ur bro, I wont blame you in the slightest</p>
<p>I'm not a male.</p>
<p>But it's going to sound SO LAME e-mailing my colleges. "Oh, hey, my brother deleted my app because he was mad about something childish and trivial..."</p>
<p>They won't take me seriously or I'll look irresponsible...</p>
<p>I mailed CB, and I highly doubt they'll respond soon. They're so terrible.</p>
<p>Then don't state why your brother deleted it. Say something happened and some blooey computer malfunction. Or the wrong button was pressed. There are some pretty computer-illiterate people out there... Or blame the cat/dog...?</p>
<p>Antarius's right. Emailing them is kinda pointless. Best to call them.</p>
<p>But seriously, email the colleges. This is FINANCIAL AID you're talking about!</p>
<p>i think the truth is the best thing to say
If someone told me that their bro did it outta spite, I would
1. Laugh
2. Call em to check whetjher this is a joke</p>
<p>If u say the cat / dog... "Here is the same lameass thing that I see everyday for thre last 40 years. No aid is deserving"</p>
<p>if ur parents don't care enough for financial aid.. why should you? let them spend $140,000+ out of pocket..</p>
<p>Yeah, true. The dog/cat been overdone with homework. </p>
<p>Perhaps phrase it as..hmm... "(address the finance office person), I'm sorry, but I may be late with my CSS Profile. The profile was accidentally deleted and CollegeBoard has not replied to my email yet about how to reactivate my account/make a new one/something. If I do not receive an email by (date/day), I will call them. I hope this will not affect my financial aid package."</p>
<p>Or something...I don't know whether you place the "blame" on your brother.</p>
<p>I don't want to place the blame on my brother, because he didn't really know how much trouble he was getting me into.</p>
<p>My dad doesn't know what the CSS profile is. And, I swear, I have the worst luck ever. I'm not going to bother him about it; this morning, someone broke in and smashed his store and stole all the money in it.</p>
<p>And I have an interview in an hour!</p>
<p>Great, great. Way to build up stress like no other.</p>
<p>Oh. Wow. That is a lot of bad luck running in your family. (Something happened on Friday the 13th? Ladder? Black cat? Broken mirror?) I'm sorry for everything's that has happened. <em>hands you chocolate</em></p>
<p>Drink water, but not too much that you keep crossing and uncrossing legs during the interview. And try some heavy-mint. I find it amazing how a very minty airway and nasal passage (to a degree) helps me calm down. Psychological, I guess. (Then I chow down on the chocolate. :))</p>
<p>Best of luck with the interview!</p>
<p>Mint! Yes, mint is amazing. I'm afraid to eat chocolate 'cos it'll get stuck to my teeth.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>This is so surreal. I feel like my life is a movie or something.</p>
<p>Ahhh, if only... But this time, you get help from the audience!</p>
<p>"Don't go behind that door, Effulgent! That evil vampire's there!"</p>
<p>And hey, you actually listened to us!</p>
<p>how did the interview go????</p>
