Did I make a mistake?

<p>Except it says quite specifically that you cannot include parents.</p>

<p>

How many people in your parents’ household will be college students between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010? Always count yourself as a college student. Do not include your parents. You may include others only if they will attend, at least half time in 2009-2010, a program that leads to a college degree or certificate.

</p>

<p>And from the FAFSA detailed instructions <a href=“http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/completing_fafsa/index.html[/url]”>http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/completing_fafsa/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

74. Number of college students in parents’ household. Enter the number of people from the parents’ household (in question 73) who are or will be enrolled in a postsecondary school in 2010-2011. Count yourself as a college student. Include others only if they will be attending at least half time in an approved program during 2010-2011 that leads to a degree or certificate at a postsecondary school eligible to participate in any of the federal student aid programs. </p>

<p>Do not include your parents. Also do not include a student at a U.S. military academy because the family is not expected to contribute to that student’s postsecondary educational cost at the academy.
