Here are my main universities
Boston U
Bucknell
Hofstra
Quinnipiac
Mcphs
Syracuse
Uconn
Umass amherst
University of new hampshire
The only thing any of us can tell you for sure is this: You will be eligible for a full Pell grant, a subsidized loan, and an unsubsidized loan. You might receive SEOG, and you might receive an institutional grant. Only if the school promises to meet 100% need can you be relatively sure your need will be met. Even then, though, it may be met with more loans at one school than another (or more expected student contribution from summer earnings, etc). Try the schools’ NPC using the info from your FAFSA.
Go to each school’s web site and search for the net price calculator. Then put your and your parents’ financial information in to get an estimate of financial aid and net price.

I believe the only school,on this list that meets full need for all is Bucknell. The others do not guarantee to meet full need.
As I recall, you are a resident of Massachusetts. As such, it is unlikely that you will,receive large need based aid from UConn and UNH as you are an OOS student.
What school on this list is your safety school? That would be a school where you are guaranteed admission, AND would be happy to attend AND can afford to pay the costs.
Having an EFC of 0 will mean almost nothing for most/all of those OOS publics. They expect OOS families to pay.
Is UMass your safety school? Run the NPCs and find out if UMass is affordable. And run the NPCs for the others.
Did you already apply to all those schools?? I hope not.

Senior year grades wit a 95 in english, 87 in ap bio & 82 in ap calc. I also
Have some volunteer hours and
Decent ecs with a solid college essay and solid reccomendation letters. I
have applied as either a premed or bio major and I realize those are
extremely competitive which is what
scares me. I also had a couple C’s in

Who advised you on your list??
who helped you fill out FAFSA? Since your dad lost his job midyear and then got another job towards the end of the year, it would seem that the income would be too high for a 0 EFC.
How much did your dad earn in 2015? how much did your mom earn?
I have safeties those are just my reaches and low matches.
What are your safeties?
Can you answer the last two questions in post 5
messaged you. @mom2collegekids
I think you have a chance to get acceoted to Hofstra…but the likelihood of it being affordable is zero.
