I'm applying to Georgia Tech for regular decision and I'm trying to get my financial aid stuff in order. Does anyone know if the CSS Profile is needed for regular decision applicants?
Yes, Georgia Tech does require the CSS Profile for regular decision applicants wishing to be considered for institutional need-based aid. By filling out the CSS Profile, the school gets a more detailed view of your family's financial condition. Remember, this is in addition to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which you'll need if you want to be considered for federal aid.
If your parents are divorced or separated, Georgia Tech also requires the noncustodial parent to complete a separate CSS Profile. The deadline to submit your CSS Profile to Georgia Tech typically aligns with your application deadline, so make sure to check their financial aid website for the most accurate and current information.
It's essential to submit these documents on time — late submissions might affect the amount of aid you're eligible to receive. Good luck with your application!
