I just messed up the CSS Profile

You’re not alone, I made a similar mistake! Another poster on this board was kind enough to give me this information, and I was able to solve my problem.

If you just submitted the profile last night, this is the easiest & fastest way to
correct it:

Find the page with the mistake in your Profile Acknowledgement form. Write your name, SSN and CSS ID clearly on the top of the page. Cross out the incorrect figure and write the correct number right beside it.

Fax that one sheet to the CollegeBoard people at 1-305-816-3002. That’s it! They make the correction, and send it to all the colleges you listed. You don’t need to include a cover sheet, or give any explanation.

Wait 1-2 hrs and log in to CB to check your Profile. Scroll down to the section where the mistake was, and you will see the correction. Re-print the corrected profile for your records.

If you want to confirm this procedure with CB, their phone is 1-800-829-9793

If you don’t have access to a fax, you can always take your copy of the Profile Acknowledgement, make the correction, and then mail a copy directly to each one of the colleges you applied to.

Good Luck!
