<p>*Our EFC is also ridicilously high, just over $70,000. *</p>
<p>Almost everyones EFC is 1/4 to 1/3 of BEFORE tax income.</p>
<p>If your EFC is $70,000 & your BEFORE tax income is not well over $200,000,( or include things like 2nd homes etc) then I also would be quite surprised at the EFC.</p>
<p>However- the good thing is- if your before tax income is say $250,000- you probably already know that there are ton of great schools where $25,000 will take care of a whole year & cover everything.</p>
<p>Since that is also what a family whose before tax income is $90,000 is going to pay- who is really coming out ahead?
