[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So a strategy is to apply no aid year one ( and gain admissions) and then apply for FA in proceeding years. [/quote] The best strategy is to get in with aid when you are early in your career and broke. The schools generally prioritize providing aid to prior year recipients and will reduce your award gradually as your income goes up over time but are unlikely to completely cut you off unless you make a massive jump. The result is that it’s not unlikely for a school to provide a small amount of aid to a long time family than a new family at that same income level. Another possible strategy if you have two kids is to enroll one without FA and then apply for FA when you enroll the second. [/quote] We did the second and got aid with kid #2. [/quote]
