[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very curious about how anyone with multiple children in college at the same time did this year with need-based financial aid with CSS Profile schools in this $250k-$400k+ income range? As a parent with twins going to college in a couple of years, the new FAFSA rule changes eliminating the ability to split the family contribution among the number of kids in college at the same time pretty much directly hammered us, but it’s opaque to me what the CSS Profile schools have been doing for families with multiple children in college.[/quote]

We are in the upper end of that range but arrived there only a a few years before college started, we have less than 50k in 529 and we are cash flowing two ivies , staggered by 3 yrs. I did a Net price calculator 2 years before the first started and it said 100k when full pay was 80k, even when I put in 2 kids instead of 1. We accepted we would not qualify at all for any aid--nor should we! We started saving a big block of cash the 2 years we had left, added it to the meager 529 funds, tightened the budget and moved on with a plan. Cash flowing ever since, now with an overlap year and guess what cutting the budget works when you are in the very high income range of 250-400k.[/quote]
