<p>One thing to consider…the value of the “ranch” will likely be considered in a very different way by schools that use the PROFILE. These schools often do NOT discount the value of the family ranch or farm. It’s considered an asset regardless of whether it’s a primary residence or not. </p>
<p>The OP has not mentioned schools, but if the Profile is required, I would be more concerned about that ranch than with the FAFSA.</p>
<p>EVEN with a $0 EFC and max Pell grant, Stafford loan and Work Study, this will not fully fund a four year residential college anyway…it just won’t.</p>
