<p>the EFC is 30,000
annual income is about 140,000</p>
<p>Can I take a moment and point out that we are now on p. 69.</p>
<p>The teenage boy in me feels a need to note that.</p>
<p>haha youre sad. yea with $140,000 idk. im sure you will get a break as a 1st gen college person but 140 is around boarderline.</p>
<p>unless youre not the first kid goign to college...if youre a middle sibling, thats differnt.</p>
<p>1st kid, first generation. And I'm pretty awesome too. That should be noted.</p>
<p>You are indeed. Too bad fin aid is completely need-based, supposedly.</p>
<p>I need it cause I say I do!</p>
<p>I feel bad for a friend of mine - he's applying to Penn, Harvard, Princeton, the works. His parents make about 200k a year. They said they arent paying a dime for college....</p>
<p>That's horrible! Why not?</p>
<p>Because his parents are kind of evil. They didnt get him any presents for Christmas this year...but they did for his little sister...</p>
<p>Omg! They're asking for justifiable homicide...</p>
<p>Yuck. I have to work tonight.</p>
<p>Poor thing. I'm probably staying home and perfecting UChi's essay and stuff. When do you leave, cuz I want you to read my essay?</p>
<p>youre friend should call up the financial aid places to make sure that they know his situation.</p>
<p>between 4:30 and 4:45</p>
<p>Chance, it won't help. Until you are 24, or married, or join the army, you are still not completely independent, and your parents are expected to contribute to your education.</p>
<p>well he has a unique situation where they are not. my mother had the same problem back when she was applying to colleges and her school made an exception for her.</p>
<p>Eckie, check that inbox.</p>
<p>Hmm, site's back up. Nice.</p>
<p>bumpity bump bump</p>
<p>without bob, we wilt.</p>
