@thumper1 I have spoken to my parents about it. It is attainable. My parents don’t think we’ll actually qualify, but my mom wants me to apply anyway. That’s why I asked if I need to fill out the information for both parents now that they’re no longer together, but if I just have to fill out the information for one parent then I could possibly get some aid, but there’s no way I’d get aid if I had to fill out the information for both. My dad has been paying my tuition this year, but throughout college my parents will probably switch off. Even though my mom pays for most of my things, as I said, my dad has been paying my college tuition because my mom always paid my high school tuition. I just think it would odd to only fill out the information for my mom, but then for my dad to pay for tuition. I feel like the school would be like “???” I forgot to mention the annual costs for my siblings attending college is about 71k combined.
Edit: The post is weird I know. Why am I asking about aid if I don’t even qualify? I feel the same way, but my mom just wants me to fill it out anyway. I really have no idea why. And, no, it’s not because there may be financial issues I may be unaware of. She’s been asking that we fill out FAFSA for the past 5 years since my siblings started to apply, but I’m the only one that actually cared to follow through with her wishes. I think it may be because if you don’t apply for aid when your first apply to a school (as a transfer at least), some schools will never give you aid even if unforeseen financial circumstances arise. I know Wesleyan makes you wait a year for aid if you didn’t apply when first applying. I know Brown will never give transfers aid if they didn’t apply for it when they first applied to the school.
