<p>If you are going to a school that requires CSS for financial aid then you do have to fill it out if you want to be considered for financial aid. If your school does not require CSS (the majority do not) then you do not (and cannot) fill it out. Check your school for what they require.</p>
<p>Thanks swim...I checked both on the CSS site and my Universities website and CSS website says they don't use it and it says nothing about it on the U website.</p>
<p>If you want to be absolutely sure, call the universities and ask them if they require the Profile. It will put your mind at ease.</p>
