FAFSA aid is rolling, but what about CSS Profile? Is it better to complete it ASAP or only once you have an acceptance in hand?
No. FAFSA is a form schools use to collect information to decide whether THEY want to give you need-based aid. Federal loans are available for everyone, but there are no federal grants for med school.Do we get money from Fafsa for medical school?
Yup! If you don't know what it is, your schools are probably not requiring it! Also, it's really just used for institutional need-based aid, so if you wouldn't be eligible for that there is no need to submit.What is CSS ? Separate from FAFSA ?

Anyone know if it's possible to add schools to the list after submitting the CSS profile?
It depends on the school, so I would check each school you're interviewing at what their financial aid application timeline looks like. Most schools have a deadline around mid-March or two weeks after acceptance, so you can wait until after you've been accepted to submit. Some schools have deadlines before you find out about acceptance, in which case you should submit asap.
It is possible to add after submitting CSS, you just have to pay for each school.
FAFSA is free, but you can only list 10 schools at once. So if you have to add other schools, you have to go back and remove schools.
