With A High EFC, Am I Wise to Skip Financial Aid Applications?

But the more insidious issue is that if your family needs that financial aid in the future, you might not be eligible because the school accepted your student on the assumption of no need. I think it’s danged nasty and sneaky that this is not made VERY clear at such schools, but it often is not.

It would be helpful to name the schools that do this so that people can do their research…I frequently hear Drexel won’t accept FAFSA later if not filed as a frosh applicant, but don’t see that written anywhere. I agree if schools don’t publicize this, it can be a nasty surprise…so any light we can shed for posters would be helpful!
