<p>that sucks to hear, especially because my family is in the same sort of situation (except we have no town house to bring in extra money.) </p>
<p>please consider though that especially in this economy (and any economy, really) unless you have 10 family members (cough,likeme,cough) then $100,000 a year is a lot. most of the schools i applied for wont give me financial aid either, because my dad lost his job last year and we took money from his retirement. that money tho is added to our income, so it looks like we made 150 thousand when we made more around 95. they go off of your last years taxes, so if your taxes indicate that you made a lot of money, that could be a factor. i know stanford has a form you can fill out if there have been any changes to your financial situation since your last years taxes, and that can be fund on their financial aid office’s website.</p>
<p>also, did you submit a CSS profile and a FAFSA? because i know i didnt do my CSS…but stanford will accept it late, so if you didnt you should get that done as soon as you can. </p>
<p>at any rate. good luck calling the financial aid office</p>
