Collegeboard CSS profile Problems

Currently I am trying to begin my CSS profile and for some reason it keeps timing me out in the middle of the application and I have been trying for the past 40 minutes and I just can't get it to work. Any idea what is wrong?

Exactly! The "contact us" feature seems to have gone out of whack too. I was afraid I was the only one..

I have also been trying for an hour to access the site and it keeps timing out. I emailed them, no reply. What to do about applications due 11/1?

Yeah this is not good news when your application is due 11/1

It may be a log jam...too many on the site at one time?

Ok, now it finally works, but for some reason it randomly refreshes the page while i'm filling out my application and I keep losing my progress.

This is seriously just ridiculous

Same thing is happening to me and 11/1 is creeping up in a few hours. I've been refreshing this page for a few hours now, but it either times out or only lets me fill in a few questions before it automatically refreshes the page and I lose all the information I just filled in. The only consolation is that this is happening to everybody.

Anyone know if colleges will make a big fuss if the Financial Aid Forms and everything else is in on time except for the CSS profile?

Does the Profile have to be in by 11/1, or just the admissions app? Is this for ED? I didn't realize there were schools that have an 11/1 Profile deadline.

When my son applied ED a couple years ago, we had a Nov. 1 deadline for the CSS Profile. It was actually earlier than the Common App deadline for the school (which was Nov. 10th, if I recall.)

I am going to have a nervous breakdown I have been trying to log on since 5. I only have like 5 questions left and I have to have it in today. Will they extend the deadline if its a server problem. I tried to email them too and I got a server error.

Same here, I'm freaking out and I have a massive headache from this.
My email bounced back as well, this is absolutely ridiculous. I hope universities understand, my report was ready to be sent, it was just a final check but now I cant even log back in!

My advice is to try very late at night or very early in the morning. I believe the site is getting more volume than it can handle during daytime and evening hours. Yesterday I tried for hours and got nowhere so this morning got up at 5:00 a.m. to try and it was a breeze.

Good luck!
