<p>Hm. That can be tricky depending on how your family has set the basis for its capital assets – if they’re selling things at a profit then yes, the IRS (and FAFSA) are probably going to count those as assets. If they’re selling them at a loss or at break-even because they need the liquidity, then the IRS isn’t going to consider it income, and I believe FAFSA will follow that.</p>

<p>Anyway, the folks above chatting about King’s seem to be NY locals who know more about it than I do.</p>

<p>If I were in your shoes I’d take a year off and work at some kind of character building job.</p>

<p>I wrote the following a little while ago to a pre-law student:

You know what I kind of wish I had taken a summer to do? Work a “real job.” Something like waiting tables. Customer-service oriented, running around frantically all the time, learning humility and diligence and what it really means to be tired and to have people being rude and impolite to you.</p>

<p>Spend your evenings studying for the LSAT and writing a personal statement, and be ready to go with applications when the time comes.
