My parents make roughly $220,000 a year. We have a lot in savings and in our checking, meaning we will probably get close to nothing in need based aid. HOWEVER, my parents refuse to pay for me to go to college unless I get at least 1/2 off the Net Price. I know my merit scholarships will be pretty good. I have a 3.5UW and about 1700 on the SAT (I'm taking it again). But should I tell colleges that my parents won't pay for me to go to school? And would they even consider that when giving out aid? Or will I just have to suffer with loans because my parents refuse to help me. You know, it's unfair because they are the reason why I probably won't get good aid, but on the other hand they refuse to help me. So, any insight?
