We are middle of the road income. Paid approximately $100,000 for an ivy degree. Of that amount, I subtract room and board.  Less than half went to tuition. [/quote]
What do you consider middle of the road income?[/quote]

$150,000[/quote]
Wow, what year did you pay $25K / year at an Ivy? My EFC was a lot higher, yet income wasn't much more.

Suspect I may be dinged for having modest house paid off and driving old cars that are paid off and worth nothing. Not sure they care that I am paying tuition for younger kids' private school, either, though they do ask if I will be paying college tuition for anyone else. [/quote]

You must have had assets - investment, house equity, etc. [/quote]
House paid off. Honest question: Do they expect people to mortgage their house and dip into IRAs and 401Ks to pay for college? Am I better off upgrading my house, getting a mortgage, and having a car payment? While I live modestly and refrain from purchases and upgrades, I'm being charged more for college tuition, I guess. I pay for younger kids' private school tuition, but they don't seem to take that into consideration, just whether I am paying for other college tuition. [/quote]
