<p>JustAMomOf4, if you are saying that colleges committed to meeting 100% of need are unlikely to accept someone with a zero EFC, then I don’t think this is necessarily true.</p>
<p>One needs to distinguish “full need” from “need blind” colleges. If a school is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated need, but is not need blind, then a low EFC may reduce admissions chances (but not necessarily – it depends on policy and on the individual student’s qualifications). If a school is truly need blind, then (by definition) the EFC should have no bearing on the admissions decision. But yes, the definition of “meeting 100% of demonstrated need” may vary from school to school (with some but not all schools including loans as a significant part of the package).</p>
<p>I’m under the impression (but may be wrong) that most colleges require FAFSA for financial aid (whether they are committed to meeting full need or not, whether need-blind in admissions or not). They may or may not also require CSS Profile (and possibly their own, additional documents).</p>
<p>Policies and practices may vary greatly among different segments of the college market (private v. state v. cc). The following list shows schools that claim to be both need-blind and committed to meeting full need, but most of them are highly selective.
