I love your content but it is very hard to listen to because you say “um” so many times

I am wondering if "No Financial Need" meaning student will NOT get any form of aid including unsubsidized loan, work-study program, student employment opportunities, etc. Parents have to pay full price for college?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent! Do you have % class acceptance for Emory ED1 vs ED2?

I can have loan for cosmetology curse ?

Very helpful, thank you Debbie!

50:07 it said “dependent education expenses PRIOR YEAR for X” yet css also said “tell us about the expenses paid by X parents for 2024-25”. Isn’t 2024-25 current year ? What should I write here? 2024-25 current year or previous academic year?

Hi, how can I see my application status once I've logged into my account? I have no dashboard in the right corner(or elsewhere).

can I also get presentation and links from there to my email?

What if the student's parents are still married yet one is in another country and doesnt take care of the student due to illness and also cant fill the css form.The actual css profile doesnt give an option for this

Hi. In the Current Education Information section I select 12th grade as my child's current grade then I search and select their HS. My child goes to a private HS so I'm asked if they received any scholarships and how much of the tuition I paid. How does this information impact the CSS Profile? Thanks

hello if my siblings just finished high school and have not gone to the university yet do i click "none" or "other"

Thanks - how can I get the embedded links?

Can you only fill out the FAFSA if you do not want to request aid from the college itself? i.e. not fill out the CSS Profile? My college states they need the CSS & FAFSA if applying for financial aid, but wondering why they would need to know if I filled out the FAFSA. It might help in the admission process for need-aware schools if presenting myself as a full paying candidate?

If the parents are married do they need to open an account? or it can be on the student account? the webpage has this information: "To complete a CSS Profile application as a parent, it is recommended that you use your student’s College Board account."

Priority filling date is different from deadline. ? Thanks

Hello, regarding the net income from business question on the css, I am wondering whether I should put the wage of my mother as that is the only money she receives from the business (the dilemma is due to there already being a question about wage and I dont want them to think that she makes double what she actually does) or whether I should just leave it as 0

for the Market Value Home question, is the number you report the current market value minus the remaining mortgage? basically, the equity you have in the home?

Can you turn on captions please?

Can I enter IDOC immediately after completing CSS

This is the question where I am stumped - "How much did XXXX earn from work in 2023? (required)" What number do I include here? Is this gross pay or is this W2 box 1 (which is quite different from gross)? or is it something different?

25/26. Your student will be entering college in the fall of 2025 for the 25/26 academic year.

Should we fill out 25/26 or 24/25 this year?

Section of student, should i have to put SSN number? Or just leave it bank.?

Thank you so much, you so helpful 🎉

If the retirement accounts question is not required, why answer it? If you leave it blank, the following question on the retirement account balance does not come up. So, why volunteer information that it not required?

I am a widow and have created a living trust to put my house and all 401k etc in so when I die it doesn’t have to go through probate. Since it’s a living trust it is revocable. So on the css profile do I list this trust (as no one gets anything until I die which I hope will be many years away)

This book is the best book I’ve read on college admissions. Highly recommend it to students applying to college and parents. Thank you Becky!

My class size is 500 plus students and teachers have so much LORs to send. I feel like I am burdening them with asking for optional essays.

Excellent insight as we begin our journey. Thank you both!

Kids have been "given" the wrong expectation. Most freshmen hate their first year which is why the industry tracks first year retention rates. Which can be as high as 4 out of 10 freshmen don't come back for sophomore year. Whether it is loneliness or weed out classes, they should be told up front what it is really like. 😮 If your kid isn't ready, send them to community college.

Great overview!

Does electing not to provide a Social Security Number effectively communicate to the colleges that the family is prepared to pay out of pocket?

This is a really strong conversation. I wasn't a great engineering student but having a relatively strong set of quant skills combined with a strong liberal arts degree has been a really strong career base.

Hi Ms. Schwartz. Great video. Thx so much for posting it. We’re a family that won’t get any need-based aid from Pell grants or the like. When our child applies, should we indicate on the application that we won’t be seeking need-based aid? We will be applying for loans (both student and parent plus). What’s the best strategy here? Thx!

This was really excellent. Thank you!

The most informative college admissions webinar I’ve attended!

thank you for this

We've visited 9 schools so far. All sound the same, all just as expensive regardless of school ranking or location. It's hard to understand which schools are merit generous, and noting that if it's need based, not likely to get any merit. They all sound the same and it's overwhelming!! Class of 2025.

Hi! Is there a way to get the pdf that the speaker spoke about?

Can we borrow less than what the school is suggesting? And for the private loans if you take the whole year are the payments split up by semester then interest starts per semester or is one payment made in August/September and then interest starts there? Specifically this is for College Ave since they hosted this event.

So helpful! Thank you!

1:27:49 Did we get a definite answer for this question?

Thank you so much 😭😭😭😭 You are helping us so much ❤❤❤ Just wanna let you know that all your works are really helping us 😘😘😘 I hope that you will keep going 😊😊😊

I’m glad I watched this video ❤
