<p>I just want to make sure I have this straight, or, rather, my parents want me to make sure I have this straight. I send in the institutional finiancial aid stuff with my application and then the FAFSA in January, correct? Anything else I have to do. My parents can afford $20,000 a year hopefully, but certainly not $43,000, so any clarity would be appreciated. (And yes, I emailed them, but haven't gotten an answer)</p>
<p>To the best of my knowledge, yes that is it. And phone is definitely a better method of communication with any college admission officer than email is.</p>
<p>Yeah, you have a point there.</p>
