<p>Hello! I'm applying to 20+ colleges, and didn't have too much trouble (what with the Common App and all)--until it came time to do financial aid. Every college has different instructions on what forms need to be sent! My main question at the moment, though, is about the IDOC system the CSS Profile offers. Most colleges in their fin aid instructions tell applicants to send their tax forms--do they mean request that IDOC send the forms to them? How does IDOC work? Why don't all the colleges just use IDOC instead of demanding that we mail the forms to them one at a time?</p>
<p>I'm frustrated at the moment, if you can't tell.</p>
