Would my parent’s information hurt me as an independent student? [Version 2.0]

[DigitalDad]

@thumper1

some professional programs like medical schools, and I think some law schools…require parent information on the FAFSA even though the student would otherwise be independent

That’s an important distinction.

So the blanket statement that schools IGNORE parent information does not actually apply generally - schools may CHOOSE to ignore parent information (which also implies they could choose to consider it, even if it was not required?)
