I said…I know…in my family it was not a “choice” to send either kid to college. We expected them to go to cllege…not a choice in this house.
But from the college point of view…colleges that do NOT meet full need…this isn’t their issue. Unfortunately, the schools that don’t meet full need are under no obligation to adjust your need based aid because a second kid is attending college.
BUT…it is possible that this student might be eligible for additional federally funded need based aid…depending on what the EFC actually IS with two in college. And that could help this student.
