<p>so i submitted my fafsa sometime in january and corrected it a few weeks ago...somehow, one of my schools chose to correct some of the information on my FAFSA so my EFC went up from 2692 to 7054!
my situation is unique because i'm an US citizen, but my dad's income is in Won (he works in Korea and receives Korean income) so there is some discrepancy between gross income and adjusted gross income because of the way Koreans pay their taxes (from the gross income other things on top of income tax are deducted from the income or something along those lines, i'm not exactly sure)
so i'm just wondering if i should contact all the schools i applied to to figure out who did this and get this cleared up? the information i had before this correction was correct, but i am not sure what to do in this situation. i didn't even know schools were allowed to change my FAFSA. if i am changing information right now a week before decisions will this significantly affect the financial aid that i receive since decisions are coming out next week?
thanks for all your help and any replies are appreciated ASAP.</p>
<p>I'd talk with the finaid officers at the school that made the change-- see if they fully understood the circumstances, and whether they're willing to change it back.</p>
<p>Financial aid officers at the schools you applied to are allowed to change some of the input fields to correct errors, and they use what's called "professional judgment" that allows them to make other changes as well.</p>
