<p>Yeah, I plan on contacting the financial aid office for a review as soon as I get my package. As you guys have said, they may understand that I'm going from a $40,000 yearly income to almost nothing overnight. </p>
<p>And yes, for some people a EFC of $7k sounds good , but its horrible for me who funds their own education.</p>
<p>And as for the military educational benefits, I do have the GI Bill which pays nearly $1100 a month but that barely covers room and board in my case.</p>
<p>Thanks for you help!</p>
