@T26E4 @ucbalumnus @suzy100 @frontpage @“Erin’s Dad” I’ve done the net price calculator with every school on my list. I have a difficult situation because my parents are divorced. All the schools except Wake and Duke will only consider my mom’s finances (FAFSA). Wake and Duke will want my dad’s financial info (CSS Profile) ON TOP OF the FAFSA.
The problem with the Ivies is they will ALL want my father’s info. That’s why I didn’t want to look at them. I didn’t want to fall in love with a school and not be able to go. But what my counselor told me is, “You never know what will happen.” I will not let myself fall head over heels for an Ivy until I see my financial aid packet and find out FOR SURE what the price will be. My counselor believes she will be able to find a way to exclude my father’s finances because child support is only req. by law until I’m 18. Also, I see him for probably 10 days a year in total.
I’ve done my research on this. I know what I’m doing. I don’t need any help with the money. I’ve got that all under control. ALL I AM ASKING FOR is which Ivy/Ivies sound like a good fit for me. Thanks.
