<p>The poster who you need to get in contact with is b@r!um. As soon as you have run up enough posts to send a PM, get in touch with her. You should be able to find some recent posts by her in the International Students Forum. b@r!um came to the US on her own after winning the green card lottery, and enrolled here as a transfer student. She should have lots of useful ideas for you about handling the whole transfer thing, and the whole my-parents-are-in-Europe thing.</p>
<p>Take a look at <a href=“http://ifap.ed.gov/efcformulaguide/attachments/091312EFCFormulaGuide1314.pdf[/url]”>http://ifap.ed.gov/efcformulaguide/attachments/091312EFCFormulaGuide1314.pdf</a> to see how the FAFSA formula works. If you don’t understand it, hunt down kelsmom who often posts in this forum. She is a real-life financial aid officer, and should be able to help you sort through FAFSA issues.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
