Has anyone been granted a depency override for independent status?

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I am familiar with this: [FinAid</a> | Professional Judgment | Dependency Overrides](<a href=“http://www.finaid.org/educators/pj/dependencyoverrides.phtml]FinAid”>http://www.finaid.org/educators/pj/dependencyoverrides.phtml) and this: <a href=“https://fafsa.ed.gov/fotw0809/help/fftoc03k.htm[/url]”>https://fafsa.ed.gov/fotw0809/help/fftoc03k.htm&lt;/a&gt;. </p>

<p>Has anyone out there answered NO to all of those questions (24 years old, veteran, married, orphan, etc) but, due to extenuating circumstances, been granted independent status?</p>

<p>I would be very curious to hear about what school it is, what the process was like, etc.</p>

<p>If you’d rather not post here, please send me a private message.</p>

<p>Your help is greatly appreciated in advance.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
