<p>If I recall, I calculated my EFC to be zero, or somewhere very close to zero (aka <$1,000). Pomona does seem to take a lot of QB. I’ve even visited their campus, asked questions, and liked their overall environment, not to mention the opportunities with Consortium classes, which is why it’s one of my top choices. One of my family members went to a state school and got a well-sized financial aid package in spite of a meagre application, which is why I’m not too worried about tuition. I’m hoping I’d be able to get a nice scholarship package if I become a finalist but am not matched so I could attend college with little debt. My only worry would be NYU, which has notoriously horrid financial aid.</p>
