<p>Even if you could get your parents to fill out the forms knowing that they won’t be “forced” to pay anything, what good is that going to do in this circumstance?</p>
<p>You have no choice but to withdraw your ED and move to RD. At least this way you can quickly apply to some merit schools whose deadlines for scholarships are approaching.</p>
<p>Believe me, there’s NO POINT in getting accepted to your ED school only to be told that there’s very little aid for you (because of family income). ** At that point you will have missed too many merit schools’ deadlines for scholarships. Many merit schools require apps in by Dec 1st. **</p>
<p>Kids from families with high incomes that won’t pay their EFCs only really have one choice - merit schools who give big awards for high stats.</p>
<p>So, what are your stats? </p>
<p>SAT from single sitting
M CR W</p>
<p>ACT</p>
<p>GPA weighted and unweighted.</p>
<p>BTW…unless your parents are in some kind of financial disaster, perhaps if they see that you’ve gotten most of your college costs covered by scholarships, they will come up with a few thousand for the rest.</p>
