<p>when we fill in the financial aid application form, is it better for us to state the family income above or below the actual amount, or just be honest ? Because i heard that if your family income is high you may need to contribute a lot to your educational expense. however, if you request too much aid, your chances of being admitted will be lowered</p>
<p>hmm it really depends on u how u want to strike the balance...but i dun think a couple thousand difference really make much of a difference? if the college is willing to pay u $30000 surely it wldn't mind paying $32000?</p>
<p>Also depends on the school. Actually, depends very much on the school.</p>
