Cavalier16,

You say your father will pay approximately $30K per year and you want to minimize debt. You have a school on your list that will cost you about $30K per year. You can ask other schools to “take another look” at your family’s financial situation but it is unlikely to yield anything. You may think FAFSA misrepresents your income, but it’s likely that it represents it just the way the fed thinks it should be represented and that the CSS Profile form does the same (assuming at least some of these schools that call you full pay require both FAFSA and CSS).
