According to FAFSA’s site, anyone born before January 1, 1987, can file an application as an independent.

How come people kept telling me the independent age is 25, not 21? Is 25 an age for something else related to college admissions?

EDIT: You can delete this thread. The real date is January 1, 1985. I should have checked before listening to someone. Sorry!
