<p>If I submit CSS Profile now (the deadline is spring next year) can I get my financial aid offer along with the admission decision in December (or about the same time)? If not I will wait and see the decision before submitting.</p>
<p>No.They will also need your FAFSA, which you cannot file until after Jan. 1st and for which you will have to first have your parent’s tax return COMPLETE. So you would not end up with your Fin Aid package until mid March (earliest) to late April (generally latest as you need to decide by May 1.)</p>
<p>That said, there’s no harm in submitting it early, and much delay if you submit it late.</p>
