<p>How can you see you EFC on the CSS profile (if its even possible). I just filed it, and I cannot find it anywhere, and if its not on it, how can colleges use it to determine EFC??? wouldnt the fafsa be a better determinate of that?</p>
<p>The CSS Profile does not compute an EFC. The information on it is sent to the colleges and each college uses that information (in different ways) to determine your financial need and your family's contribution. You won't find that info on the form. There is a lot more financial information on the Profile than the FAFSA (e.g. home equity, non-custodial parent info) that is used. The FAFSA is only used to disperse federally funded aid, not institutional aid, in most cases.</p>
<p>O! Got you</p>
