<p>I was just wondering whether I should even apply for federal aid. I have nine siblings, three of whom are currently in college (one Master's, two Bachelor). Yet my dad makes enough money that we pretty much don't qualify for any federal aid. Also we kind of live in a rich area. So would it be worth applying because given the spread of kids I still relatively need aid?</p>
<p>I would definitely apply! The number of kids who are still listed as dependents on your parents' tax return will be taken into consideration, as will your siblings in college. You can't compare your situation to anyone else's ... few families have that many kids, with so many in college at once, no less. It sure can't hurt to give it a try!</p>
