So, I completed the CSS and sent it to one college that had a January 1 deadline. I now need to submit it to another school with a February 15 deadline. I reviewed it and need to make some updates. It was my understanding that I would be able to make the updates online for the college I haven’t yet submitted to, but when I go to add another college, it only allows me to update the academic information and supplemental questions (not the parent retirement plans, 1040s, W2s, etc.) Am I not unable to update this information?
What are you trying to change.
A couple of changes. Like, I have a bank account that I forgot to add that has a few thousand dollars. And the amount we paid out of pocket for medical expenses needs to be changed.
Medical expenses for 2016?
You will need to contact all of your colleges if you made an error on your submitted Profile. Find out how they want you to make the necessary changes. Don’t be surprised if you get LOTS of different ways to do so…so keep track, and do what EACH college asks.
You cannot amend an already submitted Profile form online or through the College Board.
I know; I’ve already submitted to one college, but I have not submitted to the other college. That is what I am asking about.
You have SUBMITTED your Profile. You can’t change the info on it when sending to more schools. Contact the SCHOOLS to see what you need to do.
I’m pretty sure this is accurate.
Hoping someone else chimes in…that was our experience…but it’s been a few years since we dealt with the Profile.
college Board had a decent help line. Call them and ask.
Ok, thanks. I did email Collegeboard but I haven’t heard back and their live chat isn’t available . I’ll give them a little while longer to respond and then call them.
