Easier is not cheaper!

For those with kids in high school, did you know this? On the surface, this seems like an easy change, but it opens all sorts of questions. In many cases, the financial information will be in before the admissions application, so will need-blind colleges become need-aware? And what happens if your finances change substantially from prior-prior year to prior year? This change may be intended to simplify the financial aid process, but in no way does it mean college will be cheaper!
