we can hope that you’ll get scholarships, but you never know.



You CAN know if you fill out the NPCs. At least on the need based side you can. Although colleges aren’t super sympathetic to younger sibs in private school and the associated expenses,and your parents make enough that you may not get much need based aid.

If you can’t get them to cooperate, you need to take matters into your own hands. Be sure you have at least 3 schools on your list that will be very affordable (probably in-state public) OR schools where you are guaranteed merit due to high stats. Try, of course, to pick schools you are willing to attend. Then apply to some others more expensive schools if you want to, knowing that if you get enough aid that will be great and you can attend, but if you don’t then you will have some solid options you can live with.
