easypeasy Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 DD sent in all of her applications on/before December 1st. I sat down to fill in the FAFSA. We are DONE!!! Then - DD gets an email from her last-minute add-on school reminding her that she needs to complete... the... CSS Profile!!! 🤯🎇😬 We were so close! I HATE that thing! But the professor personally contacted DD, encouraging her to apply because he had additional scholarship funds to use this year (this music school is known to be $tingy, so even though she had a good history with the professor there, she was not planning to apply there but changed her mind after several conversations with him). I just want to crawl into a hole. Ugggghhhhhhh. Whiiiiiiiiiine. I just needed someone to listen to me play my tiny violin of sorrow. I'll get my backside in gear tomorrow and visit the website to re-learn wth to do... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewelma Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I so hear you! Two years ago when we did the process was about the most stressful of my life. So many nicky picky details to deal with. So many stupid questions to find answers for. So much uncertainty that it would all work out in the end. So Whine away. The CSS profile is HORRIBLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 That was me last year. This year I realized DS's school doesn't require the CSS for returning students, only first years, and I was so happy I could have cried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historically accurate Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Awww, crap! Your post made me look up DD's schools, and one she applied to uses the CSS Profile. Now I have to do one too. So, maybe it helps you feel better that I'm in the same boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I was dreading the CSS as well, but in all honesty it wasn't as bad as I remember it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Awww, what an awful feeling to think you're done and find out you're not! But...wow, this sounds like a great opportunity that you'll definitely want to follow up on! Sounds like she has a great connection with the professor already--that's GOLD! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
