I have been admitted to a college but was offered no financial aid (my parents were expected to contribute $50,000 a year and refuse, naturally). I would really like to attend this college so have formulated a plan of joining Americorps for a year and then re-applying, financially independent. Is there a flaw in this plan that I am missing? Am I correct to assume that a) I would be able to declare myself as totally independent and, b) that this would make a significant difference to the amount of gift aid I would receive?
