<p>Do any of you know if Penn generally meets the EFC as determined by the FAFSA, or if they even may exceed it at times? My family’s EFC as determined by the FAFSA was ridiculously high, and I know that it’s unrealistic. Is there any chance we may receive more in aid than our FAFSA states?</p>

<p>Also, I’m sooo incredibly nervous about tomorrow! Penn is my absolute first choice and I’d give a limb to go there… lol</p>

<p>The family contribution Penn gave my family was a higher than the calculated EFC. I think this is because they use the institutional method, which takes into account the CSS profile and other aspects of your family's financial situation. Good Luck.</p>
