What would be considered an unacceptable drop in grades? Unfortunately in one of my classes this semester I dropped to a b+ while all the others are A/A+. Ive been worried if this could affect my admission?

Unless it affects your GPA horribly, I doubt they'll be too concerned about that.

Question - If the student and or parents have a credit freeze in place during the financial aid process, can that delay the initial financial aid package offer?

I cashed out a 401k for a roll of monopoly scratch-offs that I haven’t scratched off yet. Should I report that as an asset that worth a potential $1.9M assuming I hit 2 jackpots?

We opened a UTMA account for my son that was later converted to a 529. Is that still treated like a 529 now for financial aid or like a UTMA? The registration on the account seems to be almost like a combination of UTMA 529.

In California, the only grant a master’s student can receive is the State University Grant. When I apply for Fafsa and it asks me my assets, is there a limit for how many assets I can have to get the state university grant? Meaning, how much would be too much money in my banl account and would prevent me from getting the state university grant?

Hello, If my tax preparer didn’t report my earnings and still listed me as a dependent under my parents (I’m assuming because I didn’t make much), do I still put down how much I made when asked about my 2023 earnings on the 25-26 Fafsa form even though it is not reported on taxes?

So, when you talk about savings, you always talk about these huge numbers 50k,100k. What if my child has about $1000 as an emergency savings, so when it’s time for new tires, or something similar, she can use these funds. Do we have to disclose these savings? Thank you

My wife and I are retired. We have a son planning on attending college next year. We receive social security and a federal monthly pension. How are these monthly pension payments counted against FAFSA? Are they reported as income, or only the taxable part is reported? Thanks

Thousands of students including myself have been dealing with this new FAFSA system giving us ridiculously high SAI’s which ultimately makes us ineligible for financial aid. What can we do?

Looking for anecdotal evidence - with the removal of the "sibling discount" this year in the calculation of the SAI, were some colleges still factoring in that multiple siblings were in college when calculating institutional aid? We will have two in college starting in 2025-2026 (and for five years beyond) and just curious what I might expect. LOVE YOU GUYS!

Gosh I love you guys for being so honest about the college admissions scene. I'm a high school junior and since the beginning of 9th grade I've been seeing admission consultants preying on less knowledgable families' unrealistic prestigious college dreams. Luckly I have older cousins who've been through college admissions and warned me against feeling entitled or attatched to schools before getting admitted. Liked and subscribed!

@edwardnewsome7200 I don't know whether you know the situation before commenting. I have two kids that wanted to go to a local private colleges and each one cost $87k a year and the public colleges here are not good and going to good out of state public school still cost like $60k a year easily. $300k a year living in northeast is not a lot after health care insurance, taxes and taxes. Still need to pay mortgage, car loans etc. $87k a year tuition is like $125k before tax salary. So two kids is like over 200k before taxes there. The whole financial aid system is not Fair, my kid friend got $20k financial aid help for the same college which we got nothing. Their parents ( we know them and we talked about the college and financial aid stuff) made similar income and the difference is the they don't have much saving because they bought a million house, luxury cars. Which I have a small house and driving Honda because I know college is expensive which I have started saving for my kids. The truth is that I should have spent the $$ and not saving them. Anyway, I did apply and I got some loans from the school which is better than nothing.

I don't know, but the system is unfair, do research for you subject, but from what I know they do count the value of your assets and it sucks especially if it is more of a retirement investment.
