So on the CSS Profile, some schools I’m applying to requires my non custodial parent’s information and some does not (I assume that’s what the “Yes” means on this site https://profile.collegeboard.org/profile/ppi/participatingInstitutions.aspx). I want to know that if I enter my non custodial parent’s information, would the schools that don’t require my non custodial parent’s information take my non custodial parent’s information as a factor if they see it? Thanks!
You should not be entering non-custodial parent info on the profile at all. Your non-custodial parent would enter that info on the non-custodial parent profile.
This non-custodial parent Profile won’t be submitted to colleges that do not require the non-custodial parent form.
Do not put your non-custodial parent info on the regular Profile. Only your custodial parent and spouse (if remarried) go on there.
However, check your colleges. Some gather non-custodial parent info via their own forms.
