<p>DS has been determined to do his applications on his own, and now that I have started the process of getting ready to submit the FAFSA and CSS Profile, I found that he answered "no" to the question "do you intend to apply for need-based aid" on most of his applications! While we are not likely to get a lot of need-based aid because of income and assets, I did want to apply in case we wanted to take some loans and also because some of the schools where he wants to be considered for merit aid require it. Also, he is applying to one Ivy league that has the sliding scale for tuition that covers our income level. Can or should he revise these applications? Do we need to check to see if they are need-blind institutions before doing so? Thank you for your help.</p>
