Yes, the schools that you have listed will require the financial info from ALL the parents and ALL the step-parents…EVERYONE’s income, assets, savings, properties, etc.

Since it sounds like these schools are going to expect your family to pay a lot more than they intend to pay, you really need to have a few financial safeties as well…otherwise you could have a handful of acceptances with NO affordable schools.

AND…you can’t borrow your way thru college without QUALIFIED and willing co-signers…which your parents probably won’t do (and shouldn’t do…too risky).
