[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At what HHI is it not worth applying for FA if it is your first child going to college? $200,000?[/quote]

It depends.  Some schools require the FAFSA to be completed to be eligible for merit aid.  They do not want to give merit aid when needs based aid would have been available. [/quote]
This. We were asked multiple times by a few privates to apply for financial aid as a requirement to receive merit aid.  [b]There was no way we were filling out the FAFSA form and soon after DS decided to focus on different colleges.[/b]  [/quote]What was your reason for not filling out the form?  I know many people feel it is a total invasion of privacy.[/quote]
Yes, for a family that has zero zero zero chance of getting financial aid (and made clear on the application that we would not be applying for financial aid), I found it ridiculous to force me to fill out a form to prove just why it was we weren't applying for financial aid.  And I didn't feel it should reflect on any merit aid decision.  But I see that it's the school's discretion and we chose not to comply. [/quote]
