(Urgent!) Multiple CSS profile corrections! Bought a new house

Paying for College

<p>Please bear with me,</p>

<p>I was accepted ED to top 20, and submitted CSS profile back in October for November deadline.</p>

<p>After I found out that I forgot to write down asset in a foreign country and that I put down a wrong amount by 20k on the amount my parents have in their account,
I panicked and hurriedly submitted a Corrected CSS profile via email, as they wanted, on November 5th, 4 days after the deadline.</p>

<p>5 days ago, I received my tentative financial aid award, and I called the Financial Aid Office to see whether the award was based on the Correction that I sent in November. I made a mistake and told a representative that I submitted it to Admissions.processing, when I actually submitted it to Financial.Aid.</p>

<p>So I wrote an email to them, asking them to check whether the CSS profile correction was taken into account, and they have not responded yet.</p>

<p>IN ADDITION, I filed the CSS profile Correction on November 5th, and we bought and moved to a new house on November 13th, this resulted in about 50k decrease in my parents' checking account and therefore, a house with 50k equity.</p>

<p>Also, I have recently discovered that my mom reported 1000 dollars she earned for 4 weeks during the summer when she did a part time job. I did not write that down on the Profile or the first Correction.</p>

<p>These information are not on the CSS Profile Correction, so I assume I'll have to send another correction form to update them on this.</p>

<p>I was thinking that I could send these second corrections/updates when the tax is filed and forms arrive, fixing estimates with correct figures. Right before I have to send IDOC. (I can't do FAFSA since I am international)</p>

<p>Now with the second correction forms, I am afraid of what the Financial Aid Office will think of my situation.</p>

<p>Has anybody experienced doing corrections twice? Can they take away the Financial Aid Award just because I did not file CSS Profile correctly the first time? Am I just being overly worried? What is the right action to take here? Please help me out!</p>

<p>They will not take away the FA but it may very well be adjusted. Call the FA office and ask when you should resubmit. They will probably want that after 1 Jan when income and taxes are known.</p>

<p>Today, I called them and they said the house in foreign country was accounted for in the tentative financial aid award. They would like me to update the Profile after when income and taxes are known, like Erin’s Dad said. </p>

<p>Now, I am just getting ready to update the information when the taxes are done.</p>

<p>However, I would like to know if anyone knows how I should do this?
The amount my parents have in their account dropped 50k.
We have been living in an apartment and just moved to a new house,
so I do not see options PA-130A through PA-145, which should ask how much the primary home is worth and how much we owe on it.</p>

<p>When I do the update after the income and taxes are known, would I put the information about our house on the special circumstance at the bottom?</p>

<p>Since when can the Profile be corrected??? It never could be in the past. You had to contact each school to advise them of any changes …</p>

<p>I contacted my school and they said print it out and write in the information and send it via email.</p>
