The CSS Profile is an financial aid application form. It does NOT give an expected family contribution at all. The schools that use the Profile take the information from it and they use that information to determine a family contribution, your need based on their calculations, and also awarding of institutional need based aid.

So…no…the Profile doesn’t consider the location of your family. It simply is an financial information gathering tool.
