“There is an even smaller pool of students who have both high GPAs and high test scores” - Ha, there are lots more of them than I had realized before reading CC threads!

OP - Depending on the spacing of your 3 kids, there may be a lot of years where you actually do get FA… especially if the school calculates using FAFSA. The FAFSA EFC (expected family contritbution) gets divided by # students in college. Of course that number may still be too high for comfort, but at least do your homework at some point to better understand you situation.
