<p>If we don’t want to apply FA, do we still need to file CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE?? We already mark NO FA on the common app.</p>
<p>Probably not. However, if there’s a possibility of merit aid, then check the specific school’s website to see if is required for merit. Most don’t, but a few do.</p>
<p>No you dont, UNLESS the college requires it for a student for Merit Scholarship consideration and you are applying for a merit scholarship.[ some colleges do require FA info for merit scholarships, as strange as that may sound. But the money, regardless of whether it is FA or Merit $$- usually does come from one pot.]</p>
<p>Also, some schools will NOT allow you to apply for institutional aid in subsequent years if you don’t apply as an incoming freshman.</p>
