<p>I second this question. Is it a generic calculator like this : [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Financial Aid](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator - Finaid) or their own institutional calculator which may be much more generous?</p>
<p>Use Princeton’s calculator to get an idea.</p>
<p>Uh, I just tried the Princeton estimator. My AGI is definitely under $60,000, and I put 0 for all the other “assets.” It says my EFC is $12,260 - $13,260.</p>
<p>Isn’t <$60,000 supposed to mean 0 EFC with no outstanding assets?</p>
<p>^It is. Something is messed up.</p>
<p>Hmm. I guess I’ll roll with it.</p>
