@bernie12 Thank you so much for the suggestions, I’ll look into every one of them seriously. My parents are divorced, and so I’ve had my custodial parent fill out the financial aid calculator at The College Board and the tuition is less than what I would be paying at Madison. I have yet to talk to my non custodial parent, who is in better financial condition than my custodial parent. Does the fact that my non custodial parent is married to someone who makes good money affect my financial aid package at Emory?
