I've tried searching and couldn't find a prior post with this question.
I'm filling out the FAFSA for the older sibling of our SA candidate. For the questions regarding household size and number in college, I am not sure how to answer it because we don't know yet whether DS will receive an appointment or end up going to a civilian college.
Household size: "Your parents will continue to provide more than half of their support from 7/1/20 through 6/30/21"
Number in College: "Don't include students at a U.S. service academy."
Obviously can't include DS in household size or add him to number in college if he gets into an SA (lowering our financial aid) but can if he goes to a civilian college (increasing our aid). I called the sibling's college's financial aid office to ask what to do. They said don't wait to fill it out, just fill it out "as best as you can."
Is anyone in this same situation? If so, how did you handle it?
