EFC question!

<p>I filed the FAFSA (but with 'will file' because taxes weren't done at that point) and got an EFC of 03503. What does that mean exactly? Will it get me more aid in schools like UMich and MSU? (I'm in-state).
Thanks! :)</p>

<p>Umich promises to “meet need” for instate students. However, you also have to submit CSS Profile. Have you done that?</p>

<p>I just changed the ‘will file’ to ‘already completed’ on the FAFSA and my EFC is now 03390.
And yes, I already submitted the CSS Profile.</p>
