<p>if yall could post your EFCs from the Fafsa and Chicago's preliminary offer of aid -- or even the difference between the two/how much more/less you have you pay-- that would be appreciated. i'm trying to anticipate what my finaid package will look like IF i get accepted in april. thanks!</p>
<p>the problem that you are going to discover is that the fafsa EFC numbers dont exist for the preliminary offer of aid (although the comparison MIGHT still work).</p>
<p>Preliminary offers are made from 2003 taxes and the CSS Profile</p>
<p>My Fafsa EFC was 10k...I still have a lot of information to update, however.</p>
<p>can accepted students post their stats? thanks</p>
<p>I got a grant of around 20,000 and 5-6K in loans. My EFC was around 20,000</p>
