<p>I'm filling out ISFAA (International Student Financial Aid Application) (which is due tomorrow, apparently) and I have a question about the expected support part (section f): if my parents don't know completely how things are going to be in the next year (not speaking about 4 years), what should we fill in?
My mother doesn't work and my dad's income fluctuates from month to month, also, he could be laid off at any time (company he works at is going through rough times)</p>
<p>Please help, the deadline is in 5 hours!</p>
<p>Are you sure it’s due tommorow? Is it just for your particular school?</p>
<p>It’s only due by tomorrow for UChicago and Vanderbilt. Hopefully, other schools have deadlines later than that.</p>
<p>ok Thanks. For the expected family contribution, I think you just put what your family thinks they can contribute. If there is a high probability that you might contribute less, then write less. If you put a higher experceted contribution, and in the unfortunate circumstance that your dad does get laid off or cannot afford as much, I think schools will be understanding and recalculate your aid package.</p>
<p>Don’t quote me though, just my opinion.</p>
<p>I think schools will be understanding and recalculate your aid package.</p>
<p>Only if they * really* ** really** want you.</p>
<p>Both schools are need aware in regards to international students.</p>
