Northwestern FA

I was wondering if people could share their own experiences with NU financial aid, particularly those with an EFC of 0 (or close to it), and little to no assets. I ran the NPC and it leaves me with $5500 after work study, which means I’d need to take out loans and doesn’t make sense. We own a home, but that’s the only asset we have (the equity is around 120k). I want to ED the school, but I can’t tell if I’d be able to afford it. If anyone can share what they’ve received I’d appreciate it.
