Do most college financial aid departments look at the parent’s assets or income to decide what can be offered?

Johnny D. asked:
Some parents have low taxable income certain years for different reasons. Often we have minimal taxable “income”, yet a substantial net worth. Does anyone know how in depth the financial aid departments look at a parent’s net worth or is “income” generally the larger deciding factor? Of course “income” is always considered. I am asking if anyone knows how financial aid offices view high net worth - low (taxable) income situations?

Snooze asked:
Basically I have been an idiot and missed some specific financial aid form deadlines, some by days and some by a month. I’m debating what should I do now to minimize the damage. Should I apply anyways and hope for the best or just not apply? And does this affect my admissions chance? Please answer this question truthfully, because it is very important to me! Thanks in advance.

Raspberry asked:
I have a friend who needs financial aid for this spring semester, and I am afraid that financial aid through FAFSA doesn’t start until fall semester. I assume she can get financial aid for summer through the school, but what should she do for spring quarter after this winter quarter?
