I'm trying to send the CSS Profile to the University of Chicago. However, they say that don't use the CSS Profile IDOC system on their website, despite saying I can use the CSS Profile for financial aid. Do I have to submit each individual document through their portal? What would be the point of the CSS Profile in the first place then? I've looked at their website but it just seems contradicting and Idk what to do. I could really use some help.
UChicago only requires the FAFSA, and not the CSS Profile which helps me a lot because I have divorced parents and don’t have to report 4 incomes (mom,dad, stepmom, stepdad). And based on my FAFSA I have an SAI of about 42k, but Uchicagos Net Price Calculator says I’d expect to pay about 26k a year. They say they meet 100% of demonstrated need, but based on FAFSA, I’d pay 42k, but their Net Price Calculator says 26k, so which should I trust
