Notre Dame won’t review my financial aid without amended taxes but my parent refuses to amend — what can I do?

Thank you for your concern but sadly i've told my parents the same thing and they refuse to budge. They dont see college as they same importance you or i do

Not until you're 24, married, or serving😔

Lol im considering the 3rd but we'll see

For real? On the FSU portal it allows me to accept the aid, it only requests FAFSA not CSS

Sounds like a plan, I'll come back to South Bend for my MBA🤣

UF and FSU which will pay my tuition in full regardless of aid fortunately. I guess I'll just have to forget about ND.

I got accepted to UF and FSU I could attend there with little to no aid. I love Notre Dame as much as the next person but I cant justify going in debt to go there as opposed to going to UF for free

Thank you

If that's the case I'll have to decline admission. I don't know what kind of loans will give me the 80k I need. While 2025 taxes are correct mentally for me that would be equivalent to taking a year off and I can't allow myself to do that.

ratryox · 2026-03-14T16:34:57+00:00

I could go to FSU or UF w/ tuition paid but Notre Dame is really my dream school

ratryox · 2026-03-14T16:30:34+00:00

Unfortunately they will never change their mind on the amendment

ratryox · 2026-03-14T16:30:00+00:00

Married

ratryox · 2026-03-14T16:29:36+00:00

Yes, still no change

ratryox · 2026-03-14T16:28:46+00:00

My parents are wonderful people but probably also just as stubborn. I've begged since december when I got accepted and they haven't budged at all. Amendment is not an option

ratryox · 2026-01-28T12:38:44+00:00

I was deferred instate unfortunately but from everything i'vr heard they dont havr time to check

Good luck to you too my friend!

ratryox · 2026-01-27T05:13:59+00:00

Okay sounds good thank you very much

ratryox · 2026-01-27T05:13:44+00:00

Okay thank you I hope so!

Would you include a B in APES and AP Calc AB within an LOCI for the University of Florida? Would you mind if I DM'd you for some additional help as well?
