<p>Hi, I submitted the FAFSA today and it calculated EFC to be 4800. Does anyone know a general range of need-based aid I can expect from schools? Most of the schools I'm applying to cost around $50,000 including room/board. Can I expect any aid at all?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Different schools have different abilities to meet need. Most can’t meet need at all, so their aid might be very small, have big loans, or have gaps. </p>
<p>The top elite schools meet need with small or no loans.</p>
<p>Your EFC is too high for Pell. </p>
<p>What schools did you apply to? </p>
<p>What state are you in?
.</p>
<p>It depends on the school and how much need they meet. Obviously you can expect some aid since your need is 45200. If your school meets 100% of your need, then you’ll get around $45200.</p>
<p>Anyways, what schools did you apply for?</p>
<p>I am applying to:</p>
<p>Georgetown
University of Rochester
Brandeis
Emory
Cornell
Stanford
UPenn</p>
<p>I’m from PA</p>
<p>I don’t really know any of those schools, but Cornell and UPenn I know are Ivy Leagues, and Stanford is, well, Stanford, so they’ll probably give you $45200.</p>
