Missed CSS Profile date, is sending it still worth it?

I missed the CSS deadline for my daughters application by two weeks for the same reasons as tamtablur. My wife filled it out in a panic and submitted it by guessing at the numbers. Two days later I sent corrected paper copies to all 12 schools that had been sent the incorrect form. (There is no electronic process to correct a CSS once submitted) . Even after all this Jack-assery Colgate still considered her financial aid application, admitted her, and gave her a grant of 75% of the full cost. All I can say is that the financial aid office obviously cares more about helping the students than about penalizing people for missing deadlines. I will always be grateful for their help.
