Ok, I went through the net price calculator for University of Minnesota Duluth (which also takes into account GPA and ACT, so I guess they include merit aid estimations) and received a net price of 8k, which isn’t too bad. Still working on contacting every school to see how they handle my financial situation. So far, Macalester excludes the non-custodial parent’s spouse’s income during aid calculations but includes the total assets of that spouse and the non-custodial parent divided by two. Working on other schools atm.
