<p>Stupidly, I didn't complete the CSS profile, which is required by the majority of my schools, and now it's too late. I still need to fill out the FAFSA for the UC system, but is there any way to be considered for financial aid at the other schools? We won't qualify for much, if any, need-based aid...I need some help, please!</p>
<p>Just fill out FAFSA + CalGrant (Must thing to do. My family last year made
$60,000, only 3 people in household, and I got $6,200 from calgrant). Dont worry about CSS that much, you cannot do anything about it. My advise is to fill out FAFSA as soon as possible and call to colleges you were interested in and talk about not submitting CSS.</p>
<p>Many will still accept your CSS. You just may have to wait till later than most to find out if you received anything. Call the schools to find out.</p>
<p>I echo Erin's Dad. Call the schools to see if they will still accept the CSS.</p>
