<p>So I have a reasonably good shot at getting accepted, not a sure thing of course, but a good shot. I’ve heard BC has good financial aid, so I was wondering of BC would be able to compensate for my family’s low income bracket. What’s the ratio of Grants vs. Loans like?</p>
<p>Pretty good. An EFC = 0 usually, key word is usually, means good financial aids. They will factor in how much your house is worth. If you have a million home (through inheritance perhaps), then goodbye to grants. A friend of mine, who has an EFC of zero, will be graduating with about $20,000 in debts for four years. Most of the loans are federal low-interest. I don't believe he paid much upfront. So it's a pretty good deal, considering it costs almost $180,000 for a BC education.</p>
<p>Just a note, BC calculates their OWN EFC.</p>
<p>So your EFC according to....CSS profile or FAFSA (I can't remember which one) might be zero, but it could be higher or lower depending on BC's formula.</p>
<p>I see, thanks! My family doesn't own a home, so I guess that's a plus in a bizarre way.</p>
