Is my EFC too high?

<p>I have 2 sons attending the same college. One FAFSA SAR's EFC is $30K and the other $29K. The college's award letters indicate the EFC is $28K for each totaling $56K. I thought I will have a break for having 2 in college. Am I dreaming?</p>

<p>Depends on your and their incomes.</p>

<p>I have a family EFC of about 25K. I have twin sons in College now. One has an EFC of 12K and the other 13K</p>

<p>Sounds like you are doing well -- your kids have a combined FAFSA EFC of $59K but you only have to pay out $56K. The "break" you are getting for having 2 in college is that you don't have an EFC of $112K. (Obviously far more than any college costs, but it could easily cost close to a $100K for the two of them at an elite college).</p>
