I recently went through the college admissions process. And I didn't count but there most certainly weren't hundreds of pages required for financial aid. Especially since the vast majority of it can be electronically filed and since there are standardized processes for applying for financial aid across different universities (i.e FAFSA).
> no matter how small, automatically disqualifies you from all help
Seriously exaggerated. Mistakes can be rectified by calling/directly contacting the financial aid office.
> Yale, according to their 1099, has a 45% profit margin
