Generally, colleges with early acceptance programs student receives admission decision before the new year use the CSS PROFILE to make preliminary financial aid decisions because the FAFSA is not available until after January 1. Then after student completes the FAFSA the official financial aid application colleges may then make adjustments to their financial aid awards if necessary. For the 2010 11 form the application fee was 9.00 and 16.00 per college submitted. Harvard, Yale, and many other Ivy League institutions require the CSS Profile.

A school profile is a document which must be produced by most maintained school s in England , under the provisions of the Education Act 2005 . The profile replaces the requirement for school governors to produce an annual report to parents. The profile is, in part, pre populated with data provided by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and its agencies, including the Office for Standards in Education . This data includes standard information such as number of pupils and school type, and a summary of school performance in National Curriculum assessment s. In addition, schools and their governors are required to compile sections of the profile in answer to the questions as follows What have been our successes this year? What are we trying to improve? How have our results changed over time? How are we making sure that every child receives teaching to meet their individual needs? How do we make sure our pupils are healthy, safe and well supported? What have we done in response to our Ofsted report? How are we working with parents and the community? Such profiles must be produced by all maintained school s in England, except for maintained nursery school s. Other school types are not required to produce a profile, although may elect to do so. The profile must be produced at least once in each academic year, with an updated profile being published by 31 July each year. Profiles are expected to be published on the SchoolsFinder website operated by the Department for Children, Schools and Families , although as of January 2007 on going technical problems had prohibited this in many cases.

refimprove date December 2007 A developmental profile is a standardized psychodynamic diagnostic instrument for assessing clinically relevant personality characteristics. It is based on the clinical observation that adult personality characteristics often bear a considerable similarity to the behavioural patterns of early childhood . Thus the psychoanalytical developmental theories and the classification of behaviour are integrated in the developmental profile. The developmental profile is a matrix mathematics matrix consisting of 10 developmental levels horizontal rows and nine developmental levels vertical columns . Each line describes various categories of behaviour and for each line there are various phases in the development of the psychosocial capacities. The lowest six levels refer to maladaptive behaviour. The information for the developmental profile is obtained using a semi structured interview that explores the patient s Habit psychology habitual behaviour during the previous decade. A developmental profile can be made using a registration protocol . The information from filling in the developmental profile provides guidelines with respect to the goals of treatment and the manner in which they can be pursued. It can also be useful in understanding the behaviour of a patient. Robert B. McCall, Mark I. Appelbaum, and Pamela S. Hogarty argue that since there is no necessary relation between cross age correlations and the nature of developmental profile contrours, and since individual subjects can display marked changes even though cross age correlations are high, the investigation of change in developmental profile of mental performance should be considered a separate and important issue ref Robert B.
