At schools that don’t meet need, this really applies…

Universities that don't meet need do not consider other siblings. Period. They don't meet need so your need doesn't matter to them.

What matters to them is what the student, your child, brings to the college. What the other child’s doing is of no concern to them since your family’s resources were never the primary consideration when they offered FA.

The exception would be if the second (or third child) in college drops the EFC into Pell Grant range.
These schools don’t consider a 2nd child going to college a change in circumstance that they will look at. They may not consider that second child’s education “a choice,” but they may look at it as a future expense that should have been no surprise to you.
