I am just getting a hang of the FAFSA and the CSS. I’m planning to apply to about 12 universities (I know, a lot) but I am hesitant if I have to fill 12 individual profiles for each college. Once I finish one profile for one college, will I be able to copy it and send it to all my other colleges or will I need to fill uniquely individual profiles? Sorry if I don’t know enough. Thanks.
The Profile itself is the same…but some schools have different supplemental questions they ask.
You don’t have to fill it out 12 times. But the questions you see depend on what colleges you have put in; most questions are common to all colleges, but some are added because of the colleges you selected, and only those colleges will see those responses.
