I suggest you reach out the financial aid office at GT and make sure that you have filled out any of the necessary paperwork the way they require. Simply saying you don’t have contact with your non-custodial parent isn’t going to be sufficient at most schools. I’d also re-run the NPC with only 2 students in school and with your other parents income (estimate if necessary) - I don’t believe they count students in graduate programs when calculating financial aid - that may give you a better sense of what you can expect. Better to be prepared in case financial aid comes in a lot lower than you imagine.
