Should I even apply??

Paying for College
1

<p>My parents make a combined $160,000. We live in an area where the house prices are pretty high (Silicon Valley), and we just recently bought our house (4-5 years ago) plus another car.</p>

<p>My parents say I shouldn't bother applying for fin. aid since I'm not going to get any.. I'm definitely going to submit the FAFSA but I'm reluctant about the CSS profile, since it costs $18 per school (I'll be sending to 4 schools, which each have $30k+ tuitions/costs).</p>

<p>Should I waste money on the CSS profile if I might end up getting nothing??</p>

<p>Definitely, your willing to pay 30+ tuition but cant pay like 72 bux for fin aid. If you get any money because of it itll be worth it. Apply for any fin aid you can. 70 bux wont make your day but if your get a couple grand because of it that could help</p>
