<p>My S should hear from his first choice on 12/20, Early Action. Today he received this letter about the CSS Profile Application from the school. Can I take that as a good sign? We haven't received any other letters from any other schools, including 2 he's already been accepted to. BTW, after he was accepted to each school so far, he either received a letter or email confirming they've received his application. So disorganized!!! :-S </p>
<p>What does “this letter” say?</p>
<p>Often the admissions office and f.a. office run independently. My experience at my daughter’s school is that no one knows what anyone else is doing, and that each person can do only ONE thing! It is really infuriating. Honestly, the admissions office does admissions and merit aid, but knows nothing about F.A. or state grants. If you call the f.a. office? Zippo knowledge of merit aid or admissions. At some point they do send out one letter with a ‘package’ but no one person knows the reasoning behind the package as a whole.</p>
<p>It’s not bad new, but I don’t think you can jump to “I’m in”</p>
<p>No. My son accepted to all his others colleges, but denined admission at the college that requested CSS profile.</p>
<p>Nope. It’s the way fin aid works at individual collleges. IT is possible that it means what you say, if THAT particular college does things that way, but many do not, so it’s no sure sign one way or the other. I see this question each year and kids get rejected at the schools that requested Fin aid things all of the time. We are getting this request when son did not even apply for fin aid at some schools. Those schools are on auto request and ask EVERYONE. Unless someone knows the inner workings of a particular school, impossible to say.</p>
<p>Well…it depends on what that contact said…if it was to ask why he didn’t submit the CSSProfile, it could just be a form letter type correspondence.</p>
BTW, he did get in!!! 
Congratulations!
Congrats to your son! Good job.
Congratulation!!!
