<p>Notre Dame is my dream school and I believe I'd have a pretty good chance of getting in. But I did the financial calculator on their web site, and the estimate they gave me was only $400! With only an expected $400 knocked off my tuition, my parents aren't willing to pay the difference. What can I do?</p>
<p>My father just inherited a lot of land from my grandfather who passed this past year. I think this is the source of my financial aid problems. He has the land, but hasn’t had the time to make money off it yet. So although he doesn’t have enough money in the bank to spend on my tutition, I’m not getting the help I need from financial aid because of this newly accquired land.</p>
