Hi Guest, check out the latest SDN article: Let’s Talk About Your Financial Health

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sondra" data-source="post: 3909140" data-attributes="member: 76032">Remember that an "average" can be very different from "mode" in mathematical terms. As you already know...An average is obtained by summing all elements of the data set and dividing by the number of elements.Mode is the data element which occurs most frequently.  Hypothetically, if a class has a hundred people, and 5 people get full scholarships.  The average indebtedness has gone down, but the mode (the number of people paying full price) is higher than the average indebtedness because 95 people are still paying full price.  You have a very good reason for not listing your parent's income.  Your schools financial aid office should tell you how to proceed with this.  People whose parents have passed away or who do not have contact with their parents, do not have to report parental income.  I believe that you would not have to list your parent's income if you are a ward of the court if your parents aren't currently supporting you and you had proof that you were a ward of the court when you turned 18.  Just for your information, at my school, med students are considered independent.I have heard that private schools give out more scholarships than public schools.</blockquote>
