Will my Financial Aid Package change?

So here’s the situation for me currently, my parents are divorced but my mom is middle income (makes around 80000k per year) and I don’t know how much my father makes, possibly even 300,000, but it’s uncertain but definitely a lot. The situation is between my parents that basically my father will not contribute that much to financial aid after 18, and I think I provided evidence for that (didn’t pay for many of my key educational ventures/various other expenses throughout my high school years besides child support), but I’m not completely sure. My mom also has full custody, and my dad is not obligated to pay any child support after I’m 18 and already has stopped paying much of it. So I sent in my CSS non custodial parent waiver form for Williams, one of my dream schools, and it got rejected. However, Northwestern, still pretty high on my schools list but not my dream school, did not reject that waiver form, and gave me a generous financial aid package, around 42k per year. So I’m wondering, will Northwestern see my CSS non custodial parent form and give me less of a good financial aid package? I’m just afraid that will happen, because I don’t want to miss out an opportunity to go to one of my dream schools because of financial aid.
