[quote=Anonymous]Need some advice from people who know how admissions officers make decisions and what information they have access to. My son is white, however I have remarried and my wife is asian. It seems to me that if he fills out the FAFSA, he will have to list her in the mother category. I'm trying to avoid the school thinking he is half asian because the last thing I need is a 200 point SAT score penalty put on him. So, if we don't need any financial aid (the unsubsidized loan amount is paltry and we should be able to afford the full tuition), can we just *not* do the FAFSA at all? Is there any other point at which they will try to extract information about his parents in the application, and if so, what are the potential downsides of just leaving all parent information blank? Also, am I correct in thinking that admissions officers WILL have access to the FAFSA? Thanks in advance[/quote]
