How about if the parent is highly degree'd - do they use that against you? If so, does it hurt to leave it blank?
Yah those eyes and that parched smile tells me everything I need to know. Stay safe yall.
Stop the BULL SHI. You’re the problem!
Not “might” it absolutely will. I literally seen past managers look at job applications and judge and disqualify the applicant immediately based on their race or religion
Sure
Rusty Allen of Richmond Virginia
It will be much better to show the exact point on the form
If it doesn’t matter then why do you need that info? This is the biggest piece of bs in history
Exactly 💯😂
My prent earns a Small buisness, do i still need to report the earn income from my parent buisness
What if it’s in a LLC ? and will offer from Opendoor be a good place to get value from. As selling properties have tremendous costs and near 180 days on market.
Hi there, I am filling out a CSU application for college and it is asking me to input my Parents' adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2022 and my Parents' untaxed income and benefits for 2022. I know the AGI can be found on line 11 of the 1040 form on the 2022 Individual Tax Return, but I want to confirm where I can find the amount for the untaxed income and benefits? Is it line 2a where it says “Tax-exempt interest” or is it line 2b where it says “Taxable interest”? Line 2a is blank, but line 2b has an amount. Which one would I put? Thank you!
As a science student what exam can I give similar to SAT?
The ACT is a similar test to the SAT and includes a Science section.
In my daughter’s school most teacher limit the number of references to 10-12. My daughter provided all of her references with her resume as well as completing any forms they required.
I was accepted off the wait list at my #1 school. Super excited! My #2 school has lower cost of attendance (tuition, room and board). In addition, my number two school offered a 4000 per year merit scholarship. Can I submit a letter asking to be considered for a merit scholarship? Any downside?
Now that you've been accepted, there's no downside at all. Be prepared, however, with waitlist offers, colleges often expect very quick responses, and may tell you that you have to make a decision based on your current offer (or lack thereof). Still, however, it's worth a shot! Good luck!
What if you took classes outside of high school like at UCSCOUT or community college?
Our high school uses Naviance so you can create a “Scattergram” that compares your GPA and test scores with other students from our school who applied to a college in the past. You can see where your dot lands in the big picture of students from your school who have been accepted. It doesn’t let you know about their rigor, extracurriculars, etc. but if your grades & test score fall outside of their typical acceptance then you need to move on.
So- it’s worthless if your combined family income is above $101k - it can in fact harm your ability to get merit or talent aid ?
No, there is no particular cutoff at $101k. Financial aid eligibility is highly dependent upon the cost of the college. The higher the price of the college, the higher your income can get while still retaining need-based financial aid eligibility. At the most expensive colleges, family income can be well over $200k and, depending on other data points outside of income (family size, assets, etc.), you still may qualify for some financial aid. And no, applying for need-based aid typically has no affect on merit aid. In fact, merit aid disproportionately goes to students with high family income.
Do you have or will you be doing a similar program on getting into other types of audition programs, like acting or musical theatre? I couldn’t find one on. Thanks
May I know for example , that my investment has current market value is $500K as today, but I only put my money is $30K in the begining years ago so how I can report my investment value now? because the market is changed all the time, may be negative tomorrow? thanks
You are asked to report the value as of the day you're completing the form. It might have been different yesterday and might be different tomorrow, but what is the value today?
So let's say I have $5,000.65 in my bank account. This is still a college account from when I first started college. I don't have a 401K, or a savings account. For the question of "Current balance of cash, savings, and checkings account" I would put in $5,000?
@@CollegeCoach thank you!
All "A"s equates to fully indoctrinated
All "A"s translates to proper indoctrinated
Just wondering - when you plug in the purchase year and purchase price....what if you refinanced to add on and you have a new mortgage number? Do you plug in the refi date and the new mortgage amount?
Thank you for sharing this. I am trying to navigate through Naviance for my students. Thank you.
HI there. Thanks for these videos. Since filling out CSS profile and FAFSA, an investment has tanked significantly. Also, I overestimated the value of a retirement account also somewhat significantly. Can I change this in both css and fafsa or how would you suggest I handle that? Thanks in advance.
Community College then transfering to the best University for your major is the obvious best path for most. Leave this ridiculous rat race for Ivy Admissions to the prep school families who have been paying $50k.a year since elementary school. In a way they have prepaid for their children's inflated HS grades.
I accidentally put independent but I’m dependent how would I change it
Do we include royalty payments in the other untaxed income?
I’m prt of the category of students that applied to public state schools (EA) and already got admission. However, I got my acceptances before they got to see my semester 1 grades and obviously my semester 2 grades. I’ve had a cumulative unweighted 3.7 gpa over grades 9-11, but my semester 1 gpa this year is 3.2. I haven’t completely tanked it, but I did go from averaging an A- to a B/B-. Is it possible that my acceptances get revoked? Thank you for the video, it was very informative.
Hey! I realized that my parents submitted that they own a business when in reality my dad is an employee. He doesn’t know English. However, I only realized now but I submitted it for 2023-2024 in January of 2023 and my financial aid package for my university is way higher than we can pay, higher than his yearly income. Is there any way that I can fix this issue now as I am started my spring semester of my freshman year?
I Correct the mistake in Css profile. Now , I am not able to add colleges in it. It's been 24 hours. Please help me how to solve this problem . I am really in need
You should reach out to College Board customer service.
For bank account errors i would just send an email or wait for idoc?
I would email each financial aid office.
@CollegeCoach thank you for replying, I got lucky and used my one correction. I thought I could not use ot past a certain date but I was wrong, thank you anyways.
Short and to the point. Great video!
Must the email be sent to the admissions office or financial aid office
Good information
Hello i get accepted at Sebelas maret University in indonesia but my scholarship only coverd my tuition fee and the indonesia language course so i have to pay for my accommodation in the dormitory and my everyday life but i can't do that due to the war that started in my country Sudan since April what can I do? and where i should ask for support
We are not experts in Indonesian universities, but would recommend you reach out to the school--admissions or financial aid office.
if i made a mistake on the css and missed it will it impact my admissions etc? i'm submitting tax forms with idoc but i'm paranoid it'll look bad if i made a mistake 😭
The Financial Aid office will not share with Admissions that there were errors on your Profile application, please don't worry--just make sure you get all required information and documentation to the Financial Aid offices so they can process your financial aid package.
I have a question if this is a small mistake. For my self submitted course work (they’ll receive my official transcript after my counselor inputs it herself) I accidentally left out that in the second semester I am taking Economics. I put everything else correct but forgot to change US Government Honors (semester 1) to Economics for semester 2. Is that a huge deal? Or will they notice on my transcript it states I will take it next semester
I submitted my css profile already and i made some pretty big mistakes like i added extra zeros after amounts in some places. i was trying to use the 'correct css profile' option in college board but i only see the option to review and i cant edit. what to do? i already emailed my school about this and is waiting for a reply. help me please.
I inserted a wrong social security number for my student. How can I fix it?
This might not hold up if you're competing with others. If there's a menu of choices and two other students make pancakes, one does great the other does mid, the ok pancakes might outshine the zero pancake chef. If only 2 get picked it might get tricky to decide. If you're terrible at pancakes then sure, don't bother, but the debate is when you fall somewhere in the middle, no? It's all about who you're being compared to
Trop bien la vidéo
I made a mistake while entering the income tax amount. I added some amount but later i found out that we dont pay any tax. What should i do?
Would I just email the financial office of the college and list out the changes? Or should I send the acknowledge meant report, but I can’t seem the find the acknowledgement report- is it on college board? I made really big mistakes like birth year and financial support from parents. I’m not sure what to do. How do I send the acknowledge report as well, theough mail or email?
AP seminar question was the most important crucial question that I heard about college admission process. Obsessed parents.
Hello, I have a question on whether of not this is a small mistake. I have taken a course at another high school outside of my own. When I requested the official transcript, I noticed that each semester from the "Other" school is only 0.5 credits while my high school uses 5 credits. I had mistakenly entered 5 credits instead of 0.5 credits for each semester. The rest of the information is correct, but there is just this error on the amount of credits per semester. Luckily, out of my early schools, only one uses the "Courses and Grades" section. Would it be worth emailing the one college that uses it to let them know that each semester at the "Other" school is worth 0.5 credits and not 5 credits? Thank you.
It seems to be a small typo so I don't know if its worth emailing the colleges over it.
Hello! Although this error likely won't result in any major issues with your application review, I do think it's a good idea to send a quick email to the admissions office to let them know about the mistake and ensure they have accurate information on file. Best of luck as you navigate the rest of the admissions process!
@CollegeCoach thank you so much for the help!
Hey, I have not paid for the CSS and I need to change some schools which are women's only schools to co-ed. How do I do that? please
I am the beneficiary of an irrevocable trust, do I need to report that under assets? Also, my kid is a beneficiary of my own living trust, do I need to report that?
The irrevocable trust you are a beneficiary of should be reported as a parent asset and the living trust that your child is a beneficiary of should be reported as a student asset.
Surry, i refuse to fill out the race and ethnicity section. I have and c ontinue to experience racism. Nothing changed.!
