But how can the “2” school in a 3+2 program just tell the student to fill out the FAFSA as a grad student when the student doesn’t have an undergrad degree? Could a school do that for an 18 year old freshman who is in a 6 year program?

This student doesn’t meet the definition of an independent as she has no undergrad degree. When we looked at 3+2 programs, we were told my D would receive a degree from the first school AFTER she completed the program at the ‘2’ school. Until then she had no college degree at all. If she never completed the ‘2’ program, she’d not get a degree from the first school.
