I applied to medical schools for fall 2008 and am trying to beef up my knowledge about financial aid in the meantime....I have been working full-time for two years now, making a pretty decent salary. When I fill out the forms for financial aid (fasfa, I'm assuming), will my current salary be factored in to how much money I can be awarded? Obviously, I will no longer be making this money once in school so I'm wondering how they take that into account.
Also, I've heard that your parent's income is factored in as well? I'm a non-trad student (24 years old) and have been living on my own for 2+ years and been completely independent of my parents. So it seems ridiculous to me that my parent's income would be considered..
Anyway, any insight would be AWESOME! Thank you in advance for your help.
