If you don't interact with them then that means you are feeding yourself, which means you have a job.
Congrats you aren't making more than 200k. Enjoy.
Not that complicate is it? Now if you are there and your parent are the way the fuck over there and you are sucking on the tit then you will add your parents income.
There has to be some objective method of categorising whether someone lives off their parents income or not: it's a relevant question to ask.
Someone can live in the same house as their parents while paying full rent and being responsible for their own food, effectively being economically independent. They can also live on the other side of the country while being 100% sponsored by their parents. It's not trivial to categorise whether someone qualifies for something like this.
Yes, and the federal government already has a way to make that determination. I forget what it is because it's been years, but they have one.
I still think it's a fair question to ask, because as far as I understand, there's nothing forcing Harvard to use the same method as the federal government. Have you seen anything on how they plan to do that?
