I'm applying to Pitzer College and I want to make sure I submit my CSS Profile on time. Could someone let me know what the deadline is for regular decision applicants? Also, any tips for completing the CSS Profile would be helpful!
For Pitzer College, the CSS Profile for Regular Decision applicants is typically due by March 2nd. However, it's always a good idea to double-check with the college's Financial Aid Office or on the college's website to ensure you have the most accurate and updated information.
As for tips on completing the CSS Profile:
- Before you start the application, take some time to gather all the necessary documents. This includes your most recent tax returns, W-2 forms, and records of other forms of income. This will help speed up the process and ensure that your information is accurate.
- Be sure to differentiate between the student's assets and the parents' assets correctly. This is an area where many applicants make mistakes, which can lead to a misrepresentation of their financial situation.
- Complete the application as thoroughly and accurately as you can. Any inconsistencies or inaccuracies can lead to delays or potential issues with your financial aid.
- If you have special circumstances, such as high medical expenses or loss of income, these should be explained in the "Special Circumstances" section. The college's financial aid office will take this information into account when determining your aid package.
- Finally, remember to check each part of the application before submitting. It's important to ensure that all of your information is correct and complete in order to avoid potential issues or delays in receiving your financial aid.
