<p>So I submitted the CSS last night to Yale for the QuestBridge College Match and the Non-Custodial Parent's portion is being finished up as I type. However, since Yale has a policy of only accepting students whose EFC = 0 (usually, income under $60k per year) for the College Match, I have a concern.</p>
<p>My mother's income is well under the $60k mark; I have no concerns about her. However, my father's and his wife's income/assets concern me. I do not know what they are, but they are undoubtedly higher than my mothers. I would estimate my father's income to be between $50k and $90k. My father's wife's income is unknown - they both work for the same self-run business, so I don't even know if she has a separate income. They also have a pretty expensive house and can afford to travel frequently (although largely for business).</p>
<p>However, my father does not contribute much at all to my mother, my sister, or I. We get only a few hundred a month in child support. He does not pay for my sister's college at all, and we do not expect him to contribute much (if anything) to mine either.</p>
<p>My concern is that the CSS profile won't accurately portray our situation. I don't want my application to not be considered for Yale College Match because of my dad's side of the finances when they won't affect me anyway. So my questions are:</p>
<p>How much does the Non-Custodial Profile weigh into a college's decision about EFC?</p>
<p>Also, does the Non-Custodial Profile cover the finances of the parent's spouse if they remarried?</p>
