What do I do - I look richer than I am!

<p>My “legal state of residence” is New Jersey - sorry if I used the wrong terminology.
I am applying for schools here, but the education system here in the UK is very narrow and doesn’t fit me at all - the US is a much better fit for me.
We only own one home - the one here in London.
Between what my parents are willing to pay and what we have saved up, I can pay around $140,000 for college. If I work, it could go up to maybe $180,000, but that last $20,000 will be almost impossible without FA.
Do they take medical situations of family members into account when calculating FA?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
