<p>I brought home the forms for free and reduced lunch. Do you know if the simplified needs thing applies to the PROFILE or just the FAFSA?</p>
<p>The AGI is -400k simply because the costs of raising, vaccinating, feeding, machinery to harvest hay to feed cattle, etc. are MUCH less than their selling prices. In addition, we have a lot of carryover. We don’t have to pay taxes, as we have negative income. </p>
<p>Yeah, a lot of the colleges I really want to go to require the CSS PROFILE. Is there any hope? I’ve heard that some colleges are more understanding with farm/ranch assets, but that may just apply to in-state schools.</p>
<p>I’m in Nebraska. Female, 34 ACT, 4.0 GPA, National Merit Semifinalist, State Officer in a CTSO. If I get NMF, I have almost a full ride to UNL… however, I don’t think a 20,000 kid state school is really right for me. I would love to get out of Nebraska, at least for college, and attend a top-tier school. (Rice is my dream school, but with the financial aid I don’t know how feasible that is… :S )</p>
