<p>I'm really worrying that I won't be able to go anywhere. My EFC is quite low (pell grant eligible), and I won't be able to get any PLUS loans. Do any current students have insights into Maryland's FA? </p>
<p>(I suppose I could wait a month or so for the package so I don't have to ask, but I'm impatient.)</p>
<p>I don't have any information for you but I truly hope that you get the assistance you're looking for. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Our EFC was low 10K. and they came nowhere near it, this includes scholarships and student loans...I would say UMD has about the worse FA out of the ones DS applied to the rest came close to full rides, we had to pony up over 20K for UMD...Notice EFC had us at 10.</p>
<p>yeaaaa...md financial aid is pretty baddd...i had a low efc too but i still had to take out a lot of loans</p>
