<p>So I applied to about 8 schools and after submitting my application some colleges sent me this message saying to submit the css. I didn't even know this thing existed till a few days ago. Anyway i was looking at deadlines for maybe half the schools and most of them were feb 1 or feb 15 so i just assumed the others were the same deadline since the application deadlines for all the colleges were all Jan 1 or jan 15. Well it turns out bucknell's css profile deadline was 4 days ago. I don't know what to do because my parents say they don't even have all the right documents yet.</p>
<p>Check for everything you need for financial aid applications at all of your colleges…then submit ASAP. You can complete the Profile with BEST estimates. 2013 ended…so your parents should have a decent sense of what they earned in 2013…unless they are sel employed or own their own business. Or deal with outside contractors a bit.</p>
<p>If you complete the CSS Profile with estimates, use the BEST POSSIBLE ones for 2013. Your parents should be able to get asset balances online. </p>
<p>Oh…and you need to complete the FAFSA too!</p>
