Emails from colleges about FAFSA and CSS profile

[Anonymous]

Anyone getting emails from universities addressed to you by name urging you to fill out the FAFSA and CSS profile even though you’ve already done it? My spouse and I each just just got one from the University of Michigan and it freaked us out a little bit. I logged back in just to double check that we’ve already submitted both forms to them. It would help reassure us if others were getting mass emails like this.

Yea I’m getting them. Fafsa seems better than css. I submitted w2s a tax return to idoc on the 23rd and the colleges still don’t have them. All but one of her apps has received the fafsa, so who knows why the one hasn’t.

I wouldn't be surprised if these go out to everyone on their current applicant mailing list. We get them constantly and have no intention (and have implied no intention) of filling FAFSA or CSS. Also, most of the emails we get these days are "by name," whether addressed to me about my kid or addressed to my kid.

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you have proof it's in, you're good to go.
