<p>American’s FA statistics are not that impressive! </p>
<p>If you register as a user at collegedata website & put in your parents income etc. to calculate your EFC, then when looking at the different colleges, it takes your income into consideration & it even estimates your “unmet need” at each college. It was pretty accurate for this last admission cycle with my D. The “unmet need” was very close to how much she was “gapped” at these colleges. It is just a tool, that is all. It isn’t 100% accurate, but it does help!</p>
