Did I make a mistake?

Kelsmom - children cannot list parent — I stand corrected and I think that was a recent change… Come to think of it, I think when you are filling out the fafsa it explicitly says the child can’t list a parent who is in college.
It used to be (years ago) they would tell parents to go back to school. I guess they caught on!

My experience was when my new grad moved back home and I had two other kids in college - neither college questioned the # of dependents. IMO - folks should simply follow the instructions and if a college has a question about it they will ask.
