If you do, let me know what you find out.  My daughter is a freshman at Oregon, and has a healthy merit scholarship that's taken a very nice dent out of the nonresident tuition.  If the lack of a FAFSA jeopardizes that, then I'll suck it up and do it.

Fill it out.  We are.

Nice work!  If she got into Mines and some of the others I recall from her list, she should get into Boulder.  Merit aid at that school, however, is a different issue, as I've heard CU is very stingy with aid because so many nonresidents want to go there.  

The “Prime Effect” according to current students. Lots more OOS applicants.

My oldest has decided on Arkansas, and got into the honors college as well. We came to F’ville over the break and had a blast - it’s gorgeous up here and the town has a lot of options for good food and drink. I know Surly loves to tray the ‘Hogs - but I’m pretty stoked about being a UArk parent for a few years.

As a historical athletic rival, sure. But lots of us are high on Arkansas as a college option for our kids. Congrats to yours!

So far - daughter is a senior at Westlake.

- Deferred at UGA. She feels good about getting in off deferral.
-Accepted at Utenn with a nice 15k/year scholarship
-Accepted at Kentucky with a 22k/year scholarship

-Waiting on UT. She really wants it but the numbers are absurd this year. She wrote great essays imo but I'm not sure how they are going to read 90k of them.

This kid wants to be a teacher. Secretly I'm thinking she should go for the best deal but it's her choice.
