<p>if you know anybody (including yourself) who's in college right now. please post their family's basic financial situation (such as income, mortage, etc) and their estimated college expenses (tuition, room, food, etc.), and most importantly, $ of financial aid they recieved. thanks :)</p>
<p>You're asking for a LOT of personal information to be posted on a message board.</p>
<p>If you're trying to guesstimate your chances by comparing to what financial aid others have received, you're wasting your time. Two families can have the same income, same number of dependents, etc and the EFC will still be different for each. Its based on too many different factors. The only way would be to post the entire details of one's fafsa. Like thumper said, you're asking for a LOT of personal info.</p>
<p>There's a lot of financial calculators that will give you an estimate based on YOUR information. There's one on CB, and if you google "college calculators" of "financial aid calculators", you'll find a lot more.</p>
