Reply to "Financial aid"

Not sure what you mean by this.  The Fafsa is just a data-collecting form, what matters is what each school does with it.  At the schools my sons go/went to, when there were two in college in one year, each school calculated our EFC (expected family contribution) and divided it in half, and gave us the difference between that number and their total cost as need-based financial aid.  In fact, they came up with slightly different numbers.  But, these are pretty rich schools, so other schools might do things differently.  We found that their numbers about what we could afford were accurate.

Right- that rule is going away. No longer will they use EFC. There is a new acronym and it does not take into account how many are in college. You can google it but the whole thing is nuts.
