<p>Welcome to CC! I agree that you’re not starting too soon, both admissions and financial aid continue to evolve and it’s just plain smart to understand current policies and trends.</p>
<p>For FA, I like the site finaid.org. I found this part particularly helpful:</p>
<p>[FinAid</a> | Financial Aid Applications | Maximizing Your Aid Eligibility](<a href=“http://www.finaid.org/fafsa/maximize.phtml]FinAid”>http://www.finaid.org/fafsa/maximize.phtml)</p>
<p>Remember, your finances/taxes from the year prior to when your twins attend as fr is the one used for FA calculations. For instance, my D2 is a jr this year, so 2010 will be used by colleges to calculate her fr year FA eligibility.</p>
