<p>My efc is about $1200. A sibling attends an ivy league college and we basically get an amazing aid package there. USC is my dream school and i am thrilled to be admitted, but i hear that their aid can vary for middle class folk like us.... with an EFC of about 1200$, will i get decent aid? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>USC meets 100% of need-based aid. As to how much you may get I can’t really speculate. Try searching for other need-based aid threads in this forum because people talk about this every spring during admission season.</p>
<p>i mean how close to their 77/23 grants/loans do they abide by? do they give more grants than 77% for needy fams like us?</p>
<p>They calculate USC “need” based on the CSS Profile, not the FASFA. You might want to check some of the other threads in this forum.</p>
<p>did you read my question? i know they calculate their own need, but do they fill it wtih 77/23 grants/loans or more generous with grants??</p>
