Also, I got the "parent financial information" form. I wish they would've only let me include information from one parent. I included my mother's information on the FAFSA because she was traditionally my custodial parent when I was younger (they are divorced). My dad unfortunately makes much more money, but he's gotten remarried, moved to California and has a 2-year-old baby with another on the way (talk about being busy in old age...) Neither of my parents paid for tuition, room, board, or living expenses for my undergrad and med school's not going to be any different. Maybe I can demonstrate independence since I've been claiming myself on my tax returns for the last few years? I guess the merit-based scholarships after first year are my only real hope here. 😀
