have any internationals who have applied ED this year been given a fee waiver for the css profile? apparently it means you’ll be accepted as that’s what i’ve noticed over the years reading thru old subreddits and talking to people
So recently i got accepted into Northwestern University. i opened their financial aid link and it was talking about some CSS profile i had to fill out that was due in February. I completed my entire application thru Common Application and there was no mention of this CSS stuff.
basically their website says i cannot receive institutional aid without this form but i thought they based it off of FAFSA’s expected financial contribution …
i’m not sure if this makes sense but is there like anything i can do??? or does anyone know how their financial aid works?
Update: I did what the moderator told me to do, emailed admissions, and submitted my CSS form immediately and the school said they will still consider me for institutional aid!
