Will I Get Any FA From These Schools?

Paying for College
1

<p>My parents are divorced but make $325,000 combined. We live in one of the most expensive places in the country, resulting in challenges in paying for college (my brother is in college right now as well), and we realize that colleges will obviously not know this. I have a low gpa (3.4, about top 12% in very competitive school, 134 in country), but somewhat high SATs (680 CR, 750 M, 790 W), and somewhat solid ECs. So, will I get anything merit or need-based from these colleges?</p>

<p>-Rutgers
-The College of New Jersey
-College of the Holy Cross
-Bucknell
-Colgate
-Fairfield
-Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>You don’t say what the income is for your custodial parent (the one with whom you reside). For FAFSA schools, you would only put the income of that parent. For Profile schools, you would need both parents (the non-custodial parent does a form). I do not know which of the schools on your list require the Profile. BUT I will guess this much…for Profile schools with a $325,000 income…even with two kids in college…you are unlikely to get any need based aid anywhere.</p>
