<p>So, I am applying to seven colleges
and I am feeling I wont get into Harvard. So, why should I waste $16 for a college that I feel I wont get into? Like, can I not wait till I hear back from Harvard, and then send them my CSS Profile? It just doesnt make sense as in how I am being charged on top of the application fee too.
I wonder what does college board do with all the money they make from CSS, and of course our very famous $45 SAT I fee, and thanks to their new SAT policy of taking it as many times as they want.
Anyway, sorry for getting distracted, but I guess you got my point. :D</p>
<p>I agree. I had to pay $89 to send in the applications. One would think that most kids applying for Financial Aid can't afford to pay all of this crap.</p>
<p>so.........does anybody know how long we can wait till we can send the CSS Profile?
i want to wait to send the CSS profile to some of my colleges....is it fine?</p>
<p>According to Harvard's website, the deadline for submission of the Profile was February 1. In addition to the Profile, they apparently use IDOC and by March 1 ALL 2008 tax information must be submitted to the IDOC for both the student and parent. </p>
<p>It looks like you already MISSED the deadline.</p>
<p>Harvard issues its admissions and financial aid decisions at the same time...around April 1. If you want to continue your application and would need to have financial aid to attend, you MUST fill out the financial aid applications so that they can be processed and you can get both pieces of information on April 1.</p>
<p>I have to say...if Harvard doesn't get financial aid applications from you by their deadlines, they will likely assume you are not applying for financial aid. They have deadlines for a REASON. Don't miss the deadline.</p>
<p>If you really don't want to continue your application to Harvard, just withdraw the application. If you continue the application...do the financial aid application as well.</p>
<p>You might want to check the deadlines for ALL of your schools. If you REALLY want their institutional money, I would suggest that you MEET their deadlines.</p>
