Yes, and those schools are where most kids wind up. It’s a huge loophole for most divorced families. On the other hand, the profile method is very tough for single moms divorced from deadbeat dads. While nobody wants to burden the child of a deadbeat dad, one has to consider that the financial aid pie is finite. If deadbeat dad doesn’t pay his fair share, that means less for “my” kid. Or even the child of fully involved, generous divorced dad – in the FAFSA world, his kid could be attending the finest pricey prep school, studying in Europe every summer, etc – yet his kid could qualifiy for aid but “mine” doesn’t. I understand the emotions & the need to vent, that’s all I’m saying.</p>
