Do colleges download the FAFSA?

Most of your schools are privates that don’t give merit, and you won’t qualify for much need based aid.

Or they are OOS publics.

What happens if your dad makes $400k next year, or when your sister graduates? Or is she starting college in the same year you do?

What matters is not the COA, it is the Net Price your family has to pay. Most of the schools will base their aid on the CSS profile, not the FAFSA.

Did you run net price calculators on college websites with two and one in college, and with $150k income and $400k income?

What are the net prices for these schools? And what is your dad saying about how much he will pay for you and your sister per year?
