This year FAFSA dropped the explicit question indicating how many children are in university. Is that still taken into consideration for SAI and need based aid at GT? If so, how do we identify this to Financial Aid Officers?

See section #5 in the following article from Federal Student Aid for more details: studentaid.gov/articles/fafsa-multiple-children/#:~:text=The%20SAI%20is%20an%20eligibility,career%20school%2C%20or%20trade%20school.
