Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has been through this same situation. I'm looking into direct entry programs in Boston (MGH, BC, Simmons, Northeastern, etc). I will be living at home during school, and I was wondering if these schools would end up looking at my parents' finances when assessing my financial need. I will be paying for school myself, but if they look at my parents' finances, then I will definitely get much less financial aid then I really need. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

if your parents claim you on their taxes as a dependent, then they will look at your parents income.
good luck
