No. The colleges that meet full need won’t care one bit about a tuition benefit your parent gets at their college. They will not increase your need based aid award so that the cost to attend their more expensive school matches the one where you would get free tuition.

If the costs are an issue…follow the money and go where you have no tuition costs. But don’t expect other colleges to match that benefit.

They won’t.

ETA…looks like you applied to Boston College EA. BC uses the Profile to determine their awarding of need based aid. That is what they will use to determine your need based aid as well.
