<p>I sent them both in on the same day. I've already received my FAFSA EFC, but when am I supposd to get my CSS EFC?</p>
<p>Is it likely for the CSS EFC to be larger? I've read through the forum and I'm pretty sure all the threads I've read have had people who had a much higher CSS EFC. I'm afraid since my FAFSA EFC was a lot higher than I had expected.</p>
<p>Each individual college uses the information on the CSS Profile in its own way to compute need based institutional aid. The College Board does not issue an EFC like the FAFSA does.</p>
<p>The Profile considers additional assets that the FAFSA does not consider. Most notably, the Profile uses asset and income information from non-custodial parents (if your parents are not married), and also gets information regarding home equity.</p>
