<p>I havent filed my FAFSA yet, but I WILL. Although, my mom said we probably wont get anything and i'm not sure exactly how much they earn but she told me 200,000 last time. So What do i put as my answer on all my college apps? i guess its not need-based, but it IS going to be filed. also our adjusted gross income is -64,000. whatever that means...</p>
<p>You answer yes.</p>
<p>even if i dont necessarily NEED it? </p>
<p>btw…how do u and others find my posts if i dont post it on NYU? do u guyz click on my name and then search it or sumthing?</p>
<p>Ha, no. I just happened to be looking on the financial aid thread, honestly.</p>
<p>You can answer “no.” The purpose that you’re filling out a FAFSA is just to possibly get a personal Stafford loan. You already know that you won’t qualify for institutional aid.</p>
<p>So, put “no.” You don’t want to hurt your chances by implying that you’ll be needing institutional aid.</p>
<p>Someone on another thread said that you can legitimately put “no” if all you’ll be seeking is a personal Stafford student loan.</p>
<p>thanks! i was thinkin the same</p>
