When to submit CSS?

Hi everyone.

I’m a senior sending out applications and I had a question.

In the CSS profile website, it says dates for early filing and priority filing dates for each specific school. The CSS handbook (or guide, I don’t know what to call it) specified that I have to submit my CSS by either the early filing dates or the priority filing dates.

However, if I visit the individual school’s financial aid website, they provide a different date than the one CSS specifies. Which one should I follow?

Also, I’ve heard that I can only submit CSS once (unlike FAFSA, which you can reupdate your information). Therefore, should I not submit my estimated 2014 tax forms and just wait until January for the 2015 forms?

Please let me know ASAP!

Thanks for reading.

Follow the instructions that each school provides on their own FA web page. Different schools will have different procedures and requirements.
