[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So here’s my question:  DC1 is starting college this fall. He has enough merit aid we will never apply need based.  DC2 is two years behind. NPC shows that we will probably get $20,000 a year for the two years the kids overlap.   She is considering SLACs— midwestern and NESCAC. How much does it hurt a kid to have Some need two years, but still pay $60k/ year and  be full pay the last two?  Do colleges only look at year one?  Or do they factor in the temporary nature of two in college?[/quote]

We are in the same situation but #2 graduated this year.  We filled out all the paperwork FAFSA and CSS profile.  Our expected family contribution indicated we would get about 20K  for the overlap years.  #2 was applying to highly selective schools with no merit aid.  Well, unfortunately schools have no requirement to meet the expected family contribution amount shown by FASFA.  We are getting no aid for the overlap years.  So the answer to your question is yes, you can qualify for different aid depending on how many kids are at school at the same time...but don't count on it. [/quote]
