i know the federal govt counts med students as being independent of their parents and therefore gives federal aid (in loans) regardless of parent's income.

however, most med schools count parental income/assets when determining the amount of need-based aid in grants

when calculating the amount of grants given, do parents still count when the student is married?

I think the answer is yes.
