If my daughter would have done the 3+2, she would have been a 19 year old junior, still at the ‘3’ school on October 1 (when filling out the FAFSA for her senior year/first year at the ‘2’ school). I don’t see how the new school could direct her to fill out the FAFSA as an independent when she wouldn’t have qualified as an independent (no undergrad degree. not 24, not married)

The program she looked at had three different schools they had agreements with to be the second school. She wouldn’t even know which one she would be accepted to at that point. What if they all treated it differently? Filing multiple FAFSAs isn’t allowed.

Another reason I didn’t like the 3+2 plan.
