@sybbie719 in my number 2 kid’s case, her college did count the older sibling. But we contacted others that didn’t.
I should also add…the 2nd kid’s school did not meet full need for all accepted students…not even close. With 2 in college, our FAFSA EFC was $24,000 or so each. Kid 2 got $6000 in Grant aid, and hers was a merit scholarship that also considered need.
But we did contact every college to ask.
Really…that’s what you need to do. If i were betting, I’d say that most will say…NO.
