i was going to fill out the financial aid form, since my banker recommended it.

well, yeah, i went over it with my stepdad, and on the tax/income part, there weren't enough squares for his net worth :eek3:

so i think i'm going to quit while i'm ahead. i have a good feeling i'm not going to get aid.

Nope you won't... sorry for being blunt. Also Federal Aid isn't all that its prepped up to be. Its better to take a private loan if you need the money desperately.

not necessarily, our college doesn't make you start paying it back til after you graduate, and they also give you like a 6 month grace period after graduation.

i don't mind not getting it, i just figured i'd try and help alleviate some of the bills. i'm applying for scholarships (the few that i actually qualify for). i'm not taking out loans until i'm starting my masters anyway.

Most places pay you to do a masters program.
