NU giving out css fee waivers
If it eases your mind, NU doesn't offer profile waivers to international or domestic students. Those are provided directly by the college board, and the ISAFA exists specifically for international students that can't afford the css fee, as the college board doesn't offer international waivers.

r/ApplyingToCollege on Reddit: Northwestern Application
February 11, 2022 -

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!
