EFC too high?

<p>According to FAFSA, my EFC is about 26k. Is this too high? My parents make about $100,000 a year combined.</p>

<p>That's a bit high, but could be right if they have a lot of assets (cash, savings, investments, real estate, etc). Just make sure you didn't report the value of their retirement accounts, which is a common mistake. Don't report 401k, 403b, or retirement IRA accounts.</p>

<p>I also might be that YOU have a lot of assets (or earned a lot) - student income & assets are assessed at a higher percentage in the formula.</p>
