can someone please explain how adding voluntary parent contributions help increase the amount of aid you receive?

Edit: guys i know it’s supposed to reduce it. But with the changes in how they expect parents to contribute this year, i just want to know why some people are adding RESPs to 3k a year as a method to increase the loans they receive, yk as opposed to being ineligible to receive anything at all

Upd: doing this will not increase the amount of loans

ok so i know bioch honours would often take 320 and 330 at the same term, many have said it was difficult. Im in major btw and going into my 3rd year, and i wanna take two bioch 3xx in the fall. Browsing the catalog, i feel like i’ll enjoy 310 and 320 more than 330, but it’s been a consistent opinion that 310 and 320 are a nightmare on their own. would it be better to pair 330 with either of the two; and take what’s left in winter? If u took 310 and 320, what would u say to convince me not do it, and what would u say to make me go for it?
