<p>My EFC is a little less than 15K. I'm just wondering if my financial aid package is normal for this EFC (?? I guess). UCLA gave me about 9K. Anyone with a similar EFC recieve a similar financial aid package?</p>
<p>EFC is your family’s estimated contribution, but they also expect you to contribute through part time jobs and loans.</p>
<p>I know. It sucks =/</p>
<p>yep…our efc is 15 and we got 9 too…haaa</p>
<p>My efc is 13k and I got 9.9k</p>
<p>yes it just means you make more than the poor people</p>
<p>Was the $9k all in UC grants? </p>
<p>Was any of it scholarship money? </p>
<p>Was any of it loans or work study?</p>
<p>Unfortunately UCLA expects you, the student, to contribute some change too. This includes federal subsidized loans and work study. Good luck.</p>
<p>what do you mean you got “9k”? as in free money or as a loan?</p>
