No one can predict your EFC except the college.

They are the ones who look at their funding and determine what they CAN give to you.
The EFC is a minimum amount of money that you are expected to pay.

You’ve listed income from real estate, but I see no real estate in the asset listings. Do you rent out part of the home you live in?

What schools are you applying to? There is no definitive answer, the generous schools for internationals offer minimal admission chances. Financial aid is your only headache.

How much can you pay for uni? Do you have plan B set up at home?

No matter how many times you change your screen name and ask the same question, you will get the same responses.
