<p>My S's friend's parents told him yesterday (Sunday) that they will not submit the CSS online because 'because they are uncomfortable submitting personal financial information over the computer'.</p>
<p>The CSS is needed for a EA application (already submitted for the Nov 1st deadline) and the CSS needs to be in by this Wednesday so the student can receive a FA package along with the anticipated acceptance in January.</p>
<p>Besides suggesting the student request his application be changed from EA to RD (so the parents can mail in the CSS, assuming that is an option), are there any other suggestions?</p>
<p>I don't understand why this kid's parents are refusing to submit the CSS online, especially 3 days before it is due.</p>
<p>This is not rocket science <a href="mailto:O2B@C">O2B@C</a>. They can complete a paper application and send it by overnight delivery. The application would not even need to be 100% totally perfectly correct, because it is used to ESTIMATE the financial aid package. The final aid package can't be determined until March or April after the family members have filed their 2008 income tax returns.</p>
