<p>mom2 - there IS a federal law, this is not just an internal BC rule or something that the BC FA officer is “just saying”. I’ve found reference to this law on the websites of at least 4 other schools – see my post #6 on this thread for details: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/1065423-what-does-css-profile-do-does-lower-amount-aid-you-get.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/1065423-what-does-css-profile-do-does-lower-amount-aid-you-get.html</a></p>
<p>There’s quite a bit of discussion of this issue on that thread and the other thread that I linked above in my previous post.</p>
