I’m asking for my friend. She is applying to schools with acceptance rates of greater than 50% for the most part.
It depends upon whether the school is need aware or not, and where she is in the applicant pool.
The problem with her EFC, is that no school meets need as defined by it, so she will likely be gapped in terms of need.
What is meant by this is EFC is a product of FAFSA. No FAFSA only school meets need. Schools that meet need use CSS Profile or their own forms for additional info. The #1 best thing your friend can do is go to her schools’ web sites and run the Net Price Calculator to see what the forecast is for aid.
