<p>So your father gave you his tax information and you knew exactly what the family assets were the day you filed the FAFSA using his electronic signature which has warnings that anyone else using is fraud? There may be pots stirred, if this comes up for verification. And you’ve been using mail in diplomas and transcripts? Are you paying in state or out of state rates? </p>
<p>You may be able to get away with this at some colleges, but really, many colleges do look at these things a lot more strictly. </p>
<p>If you are going to pick a state with decent public college costs, IL is not the one, I can tell you. </p>
<p>However, you are getting a transcript and track record right now at the CC and picking up some college courses as well. Congratulations on that achievement. I think that another year there, and a ASA could make a difference in terms of transfer possibilities but as long as you are dependent, you will need your family financial info and your parents should be filling out their part of the FAFSA.</p>
