Ok, so I did the FinAid calculator thingy on Princeton's website since its one of my top choices (well, so far, anyway). I was happily plugging in the numbers, whistling a Morrissey tune about November, Monsters, and Twisted Children. Finally, I finished with a sigh of relief, for I could now stop bugging Dad who was getting very annoyed by questions such as "2003 Untaxed income - Include blablablablablablabla" and "2003 Income Tax Paid [line asfk3947, 1348907 line 2349, 3409Esa line9345]", which he had no idea how to answer since we are not US citizens.
I pressed the continue button, and, lo and behold:

Princeton expects my dad to contribute *more* than his annual net income!


WHAT?!?!?!???!!!


Help please! Dreams....fading.......need....water!.....and....air!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.....aaaa....aaaaa...aaa..a...a....ah......*long pause*


Your help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

I had the same problem. I've already posted a threat in the Princeton forum to be answered. I also E-mailed the financial aid office at Princeton, to this day no reply.
