<p>It would almost certainly not be beneficial to stop now.</p>
<p>I don’t think it would be beneficial to stop CS now. </p>
<p>*I had a long meeting with my counselor today and based on what I told him he thinks I will be eligible for the waiver. *</p>
<p>No offense to your GC, but he can only really guess what each school might do. Many will NOT give waivers if the dad has been paying child support. </p>
<p>Glad to see that you’re protecting yourself by applying to some schools as financial safeties with your likely NMF status.</p>
<p>Is there any rhyme or reason to which schools WILL give me a waiver? I.e. private vs. public, selective vs. not, ivy league, in-state vs. OOS, schools that meet full need vs. those who don’t…etc.</p>

<p>I mean, will PROBABLY give me one. I know it isn’t guaranteed no matter what.</p>

<p>Most publics don’t consider the NCP. Most colleges that meet full need do.</p>
<p>If I were to guess, I’d say that privates with the biggest endowments that meet full need might be the ones who might grant a waiver to a student whose dad gave very minor support during childhood. And, that’s “might.”</p>
<p>I don’t think the student who gets $12k per year in support will get many/any waivers. </p>
<p>Most state schools do not ask for NCP info. </p>
<p>Most schools do not have much aid to give out and many have to be very carefully with the limited aid they can give, so naturally they won’t be quick to give waivers.</p>
