[quote=Anonymous]The CSS profile, also run by the College Board and used by students to apply for Financial Aid and scholarships at private universities, is another example of a very poor product being provided and REQUIRED at a high cost. You have to pay to send it to each individual university (of course!) which means hundreds of dollars a year for them per student and the software is terrible. It’s as if they haven’t upgraded the software since the early 80’s. You can’t even save what you have entered and go back later and edit or finish the work and submit it . Nope - you can only save it and then that’s all you can do.

I hadn’t finished what I was entering but I saved my work to go back and edit it later and found that I could not. It was set in stone and as it was based on my child’s SS number I couldn’t even start over with a new account. Nope - I had to cross out any errors and write in any new information and fax it all to the colleges myself, in addition to sending the wrong form to the colleges first at my expense.

I learned this after being on the phone with the college board for hours (mostly hold time).

And yet they sell your kids’ information and profit from it. That they can do. But providecdecent software to use? No can do.

Somehow you can edit the federal FAFSA form as my times as you want before submitting it, but not the CSS profile provided by the College Board.

The College Board only exists to profit off of students who want to attend a university. [/quote]
