<p>My EFC is 0.
My question is:
Any full-rides, or full-need universities?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not enough info to answer this question. First, what are your SAT or ACT scores? What is your class rank and GPA? What else do you bring to the application process besides an EFC of $0. </p>
<p>If you are a very high achieving student, you have a chance at being accepted to one of the highly competitive schools that meets full need. Those schools would be the most likely to provide you with the most money without loans (as they have huge endowments and generous need based aid). BUT you need to know that these schools usually use the CSS Profile or a school financial aid form in addition to the FAFSA. Some require reporting of information from noncustodial parents (and spouses, if remarried)…so if your parents are divorced or separated, this is a consideration. Also the Profile looks more carefully at family finances than the FAFSA.</p>
<p>But the first hurdle at MOST of the schools that meet full need is to get accepted.</p>
<p>If you are applying to FAFSA only schools, with an EFC of $0, there will be no guarantee to meet your full need. So while you would qualify for a full Pell grant, SEOG, possible state grants for low income students, stafford loans, and probably work study, this would not likely fully fund schooling at a four year residential college.</p>
<p>So…yes there are full need universities, and those would be your best bet for a full or near full ride (many require a student contribution but some allow work study to fulfill that). </p>
<p>Yes there are full ride scholarships…but without knowing your academic stats, it is impossible to tell you whether you would qualify.</p>
<p>Thumper is right.</p>
<p>Most kids who have EFC 0’s don’t get into the schools that give full aid because either they don’t have high stats or they aren’t one of the lucky ones to get accepted to the few schools that meet need.</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>This is one place to start: [Project</a> on Student Debt: What’s the Bottom Line?](<a href=“http://www.projectonstudentdebt.org/ncoa_chart.php]Project”>http://www.projectonstudentdebt.org/ncoa_chart.php)</p>
<p>This site has full need Us but they are very competitive and you need good stats (grades and scores) [Need-blind</a> admission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need-blind_admission]Need-blind”>Need-blind admission - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>Thanks for the info guys,
Well, I haven’t taken SAT or ACT yet (Sophomore) but I’m “Pre-IB” with a 3.5 unweighted (4.5 weighted) GPA
I’ve made sure to take competitive classes (AP world history and AP English Lit., this year) Plus all honors.
An estimated guess of class rank would be (at the least) top 10 percent? not sure, I haven’t checked.
My only problem is I don’t have any sports or any major things that I’m a part of. I’m mostly scattered which kind of sucks.
I do art, I’ve been becoming even more involved so it shows I have a passion for something, and key Club, I have lots of volunteer hours.
I’m working on the “What can you bring to the application process?” part.
Hope the more info. helps.</p>
<p>Well…get your GPA up and practice for your PSAT and SAT and ACT exams. Get some practice books.</p>
<p>Make sure that you take the PSAT as a junior! Ask your GC if you have to sign up for that and when.</p>
