List of Private Colleges that do not require PROFILE

Paying for College

<p>I am looking for a list of private colleges that require fafsa only. Is there such a list?</p>

<p>this is who uses it (or uses the IDOC service)</p>

<p>fyi, NYU is a private that uses fafsa only</p>

3

<p>Thanks. Isn’t NYU notorious for very disappointing offers?</p>

4

<p>it depends. My son will be a junior this year at NYU. He started with a 30K scholarship and this year they increased it to 32K. He probably was in the top pool of candidates (but didn’t get offered to be a Presidential Scholar).</p>

<p>he had an SAT of 790 math, 740 CR and 720 Writing.
My EFC is about 12K (so no Pell grants)</p>

5

<p>It sounds like he received merit aid. I wonder if they would just give out loans only to a less desirable candidate?</p>

6

<p>^^^ probably lower scholarships and bigger suggested plus loans.</p>

<p>also expect to pay your FULL efc no matter how great your stats are.</p>

7

<p>There are about 300 some colleges that utilize the Profile. I think there are around 1800 private colleges. It’s going to be far easier to dbl check any school you might be interested in rather than finding a list.</p>

<p>You’re askinng the wrong question. you want a private college thatt is FAFSA only that also meets 100% of need it sounds like. I don’t know of any.</p>

<p>hmom5 - lol - your posts are always immaculate. Have you started drinking already tonight?</p>

10

<p>I’m typing on an 8 inch screen but I’ll try a drink and see if I do better:)</p>

11

<p>haha</p>

<p>I was just wondering if you started the celebration early.</p>

<p>OP - I hacked your thread and I apologize. Can you forgive two regulars (me not as regular as hmom5)?</p>

12

<p>There are plenty of colleges that are non-profile and meet 100% of need. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a search engine that will search on that criteria… so it’s hunt and peck to find them.</p>

<p>Really??? We started a thread here last year asking for schools that use FAFSA ONLY…no school form, no profile…that meet full need and NO ONE came up with a single school. There are schools where full need is met, but the ones mentioned all had a school finaid form, or used the Profile to compute need. NONE used ONLY the FAFSA.</p>

<p>Please do provide a list if you have one.</p>

14

<p>I am talking non-profile. It is almost impossible to find a school outside the CC’s that does not use an institutional form.</p>

15

<p>Willamette only required the CSS profile for early action candidates. It is not required for regular admission candidates. There may be more schools that have this policy.</p>

16

<p>Denison in OH and Trinity U in San Antonio are FAFSA only, and St. Olaf is FAFSA only after FY.</p>

17

<p>Here is what I have so far:</p>

<p>denison
st olaf
trinity university
u of miami
nyu
university of san francisco
university of san diego
RIT</p>

18

<p>Ugh…there’s a whole other thing to fill out besides the FAFSA? How do people even find out about this stuff?</p>

19

<p>It’s called the CSS/PROFILE. If you’re looking at schools that require it, you’ll NEED to find out about that stuff.</p>

<p>In the Pacific NW: </p>

<p>Univ of Portland
Puget Sound
Willamette</p>

<p>FAFSA-only private schools. Willamette, in particular, was pretty generous with merit and need-based aid, and met nearly full need for us.</p>
