[quote=Anonymous]I wish I had known that we would get zero financial aid per FAFSA and zero merit. That would have helped. This is why I come on here and tell parents that just because they say "we need money to afford college" that it may not work out in their favor. Financial aid is determined by FAFSA. Most people in DCUM land reading this will get a 100% EFC from FAFSA meaning they are expected to pay 100% of college expenses even if they have severe extenuating circumstances as we did. Merit aid is all but gone at the top institutions. The less elite schools will offer merit in exchange for top scores. I did not know this going into the the process.[/quote]
