<p>*Will your parents be able to afford the school that you gain admission to once they are employed again? You need to discuss this with them and consider that as a very real situation. You may not want to attend a college with a $50,000+ price tag and a year from now your parents will need to pay $40,000. *</p>
<p>Very good point. Typically, when families are getting back on their feet after unemployment, they can’t pay out a lot towards college (which their college may expect once income returns.)</p>
<p>You need to protect yourself and apply to a variety of schools…Reaches that give great aid (like HYPS), some UCs, and some financial safeties that will give you huge merit for your stats. </p>
<p>Did you make NMSF?</p>
