It says that my EFC is $2983 but the total net cost is $12483? I’m confused on how much I will need to pay to attend UCSB
Just because your EFC is $2983, does not mean you will only pay your EFC. Most schools will gap you, especially if they do not meet need, which the UC’s do not. You will have to come up with difference by taking out student loans and parent plus loans, working during the summer and/or during the school year.
